Property Tax

Property tax is the #1 source of tax revenue in Kansas, accounting for over 31% of all taxes collected in fiscal year 2012 by state and local governments. Data collected from the Kansas Department of Revenue, Property Valuation Division shows that property taxes increased 102% between 1997 and 2012. Over the same period population increased 11% and inflation increased 40%.

‘County’ as used in this database includes all taxing jurisdictions within a county (cities, townships, school districts, county government, etc.) Unless otherwise noted, all information includes both real estate and personal property.

The database includes both county-based and statewide information from 1997 through 2012 on property taxes, average mill rates, population and changes in residential property values (in total and broken out by existing property and new property, as a percentage of the previous year’s total valuation.)
