Kansans Eye Possible Tax Change on Watercraft
Kansans may vote on a constitutional amendment to let lawmakers in 2013 classify and tax watercraft differently or exempt them from property taxes. A yes would authorize future changes while a no preserves current tax treatment. Watercraft taxes vary by county, at 30 percent of value times the mill levy, with an Ottawa resident’s $10,000 craft costing about $515 annually. See TAX CHANGE, Page 6.
