Revision urged on Kansas property tax system reforms
Topeka officials state tax commission and taxation scholars call for a complete revision of Kansas assessment. A CONNOTEPE report to the legislative council cites major problems in under assessment and equalities, notes blanket reductions on farm lands and on improvements both in 1942 and 1933, and traces how reliance on general property levies shaped revenue. The 1920 peak and 1987 equalized valuation figures are cited, along with per capita tax history and shares of revenue from general property taxes and other funds. Special fee funds account for a portion of the revenue mix.
