Senators in the Kansas Legislature yesterday supported comprehensive changes to restrict county appraisers and property valuations that increase local tax burdens.
The senate passed legislation that would prohibit appraisers from increasing property valuations because of normal maintenance made to the property. Senator Caryn Tyson led the charge for changes in the property tax laws. She says some homeowners don’t take care of their property because they are afraid of tax increases.
Senators are working out what would be considered normal maintenance to address concerns from county officials.
