Yost proposes constitutional fix to cap local property taxes
Kansas Senate leader Sen. Eric Yost unveiled a constitutional amendment to repeal the property classification law and cap the effective tax rate at 1.5 percent on real and personal property. The plan preserves farm machinery, inventories, and livestock exemptions and aims to restore uniform tax treatment under the constitution. Yost highlighted current rates of about 1.3 percent for homes and 3.3 percent for businesses, noting statewide average about 2.2 percent. The measure, to be introduced in January and debated in 1990, follows recent tax notices and a special legislative session.
