SB 90 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Providing for a property tax exemption from local government levies to the extent of the first $100,000 of appraised value for certain owner-occupied homes and authorizing local governments to propose a ballot question to opt out of such property tax exemption.

SB 90 creates a property tax exemption for the first $100,000 of value on owner-occupied homes in Kansas, affecting homeowners with homes valued under $350,000 (adjusted annually for inflation starting in 2027). Local governments can propose ballot questions to voters to opt out of this exemption for their area - requiring a two-thirds vote for full exemption removal or a majority vote for a 50% reduction. The exemption does not apply to taxes from existing bonds or certain specific levies. This policy directly impacts eligible homeowners and gives local communities annual voting power over local tax rates.
