The limit applies starting in the 2026 tax year, with the initial calculation based on the 2022 appraised values.

This bill proposes to amend the Kansas Constitution to require voter approval for any property tax exemptions. If passed, the change would shift the authority currently held by the state legislature to the electorate, meaning voters would directly decide whether specific groups or properties receive tax breaks. The measure does not create new exemptions itself but establishes a new rule for how future exemptions must be approved. It directly affects Kansas voters, property owners, and local governments by altering the process for determining tax relief.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to Kansas that would limit how much property tax assessments can increase each year for most real estate and mobile homes. Under the new rules, the taxable value of these properties could rise by no more than 3% annually, unless the property is newly built, improved, sold, or reclassified. The amendment also allows the state legislature to create specific laws that freeze tax valuations for owner-occupied homes belonging to qualifying seniors. By embedding these limits in the state constitution, the change would establish a permanent cap on assessment growth rather than relying on temporary statutes.
