HB 2630 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Providing the authority for counties and cities to levy an additional liquor enforcement tax for property tax reduction.

HB 2630 allows Kansas counties and cities to levy a 2% additional tax on liquor sales revenue (from retailers, microbreweries, distributors, and other sellers), but only after voter approval via local election. The tax revenue must be used exclusively to reduce the following year's property tax levy by an equal amount. Local governments must hold an election and secure majority voter approval before implementing the tax, with collections starting 60 days after the election. This bill directly affects property taxpayers in participating counties and cities by providing a new funding mechanism for property tax relief.
