Filing requirement for personal property have changed in Franklin County. Previously, all Kansas taxpayers were required to annually list, sign and submit a personal property rendition to the county appraiser’s office no later than March 15 for all tangible personal property subject to taxation. However, the 2024 Kansas legislature passed Senate Bill 410, which removes the annual reporting requirements for taxpayers with an accurate rendition on file and no changes required. It states that if a person has filed an initial statement listing property with the county appraiser, no subsequent annual statement shall be required to be filed with the county appraiser’s office regarding such property unless there is a change to report relating to the property previously listed on the statement. So, if a current and accurate personal property rendition is on file in the county appraiser’s office, there is no longer a requirement to file a rendition annually unless there are changes.
If there are any changes to report, the taxpayer is required to file a rendition for that tax year to avoid penalties. Examples of changes that should be reported are the purchase of new personal property, the sale of personal property, and changes to the address or use of personal property.
