Senate Substitute for HCR 5011 by Committee on Assessment and Taxation - Proposing to amend section 1 of article 11 of the constitution of the state of Kansas to limit property tax valuation increases for real property and personal property classified as mobile homes.
This bill proposes amending the Kansas Constitution to cap annual increases in the taxable value of real property and mobile homes used for residential purposes at 3%. The limit applies starting in the 2026 tax year, with the initial calculation based on the 2022 appraised values. Exceptions to this cap are allowed if the property undergoes new construction, improvements, a change in assessment class, loss of tax exemptions, or a change in legal description. Additionally, the capped value would carry over to new owners if the property is sold, unless the legislature creates specific exceptions.

MINOR
The bill was amended to expand the property tax relief provision to include commercial and industrial properties and mobile homes, in addition to residential properties. The amendment also clarifies that the specific valuation rules (using fair market value or average fair market value) apply specifically to residential and mobile home properties, while other property types revert to standard assessment rules. Additionally, the header was updated to reflect the bill's status as amended by the House Committee.
Scope change
The scope of the property tax valuation rule was expanded from only residential properties to include commercial, industrial, and mobile home properties, though the specific valuation method applies only to the residential and mobile home categories.
ELIGIBILITY
Extended the application of the 'lesser of fair market value or average fair market value' rule to commercial and industrial real property and mobile homes, whereas the original version applied it only to residential property.
DEFINITION
Added specific language clarifying that the valuation adjustments for new construction and property use changes apply to the residential portion of the property.
TECHNICAL
Updated the document header to reflect the bill's status as 'As Amended by House Committee' and reorganized the text layout.
