HB 2011 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Decreasing the rate of ad valorem tax imposed by a school district, increasing the extent of exemption for residential property from the statewide school levy and providing for certain transfers to the state school district finance fund.

HB 2011 lowers the property tax rate for Kansas school districts from 20 mills to 18.5 mills for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years, and establishes a new formula to maintain revenue levels starting in 2026-2027 based on current property valuations. It directly affects residential property owners by increasing their exemption from the statewide school levy, reducing their taxable property value. The bill also requires school districts to remit all tax proceeds (except for specific bond payments) to the state school district finance fund. These changes aim to reduce local tax burdens while maintaining funding stability for public schools.
