This bill amends existing property taxation laws in Kansas by modifying deadlines for mailing tax statements to taxpayers and for the certification of levies to the director of property valuation. Specifically, it changes the deadline for the county clerk to transmit tax statements from November 15 to November 1, and for mailing tax statements to taxpayers from December 15 to December 1. Additionally, if a taxing subdivision fails to file its budget on time, the county clerk is authorized to use the previous year's budget for tax calculations. The bill also mandates that all budget information be filed electronically with the county clerk and the director of accounts and reports.

The bill repeals existing sections of the law, specifically K.S.A. 79-1806, K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 79-2001, and K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 79-2930, and replaces them with updated provisions that streamline the process for tax statement mailing and budget submissions. The changes aim to enhance efficiency in property tax administration and ensure timely communication with taxpayers regarding their tax obligations. The act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
