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.
