Kansas Property Tax Freedom Coalition An independent Kansas-specific advocacy organization working to abolish property tax in Kansas. Untax the Roof and the Kansas Property Tax Freedom Coalition are separate organizations, not the same entity.
How property tax works in Kansas
Kansas taxes your property's assessed value, not its market value. The county appraiser sets your property's value, then a "mill levy" (1 mill = $1 in tax per $1,000 of assessed value) is applied to calculate your bill. Every property owner pays a mill levy to the state, their county, and their school district - and often a city, township, or special district on top of that. Statewide average mill levies have run in the range of 130-140 mills in recent years, but rates vary widely by county.
