Permitting county appraisers to request lease agreements from taxpayers when valuing property for property tax purposes.

HB 2782 allows county appraisers in Kansas to request lease agreements from property taxpayers when determining property tax values. This directly affects property owners, particularly landlords with rental properties, as appraisers can now obtain lease details to assess property values more accurately. The bill removes a previous prohibition (under K.S.A. 79-1412a(c)(3)) that prevented appraisers from asking for "documents detailing individual lease agreements," while still permitting requests for certified rent rolls. The change aims to improve the accuracy of property tax valuations by giving appraisers access to lease terms that impact property value.
