Farmland Tax Change Supported In Kansas Hearing
The Kansas House committee hearing on a constitutional amendment to tax farmland by productivity rather than resale value drew no opposition by Monday afternoon. Support came from major farm groups led by the Committee of Kansas Farm Organizations, Kansas Farm Bureau and others who argued the plan aligns taxes with use, delaying taxes until land use changes. Proponents said the change would correct investor-driven price distortions and enable use value appraisal, helping government recover lost property taxes.
