Kansas property taxes

Varies

Are Property Taxes Deductible in Kansas?

Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Kansas adds its own break: Homestead Refund up to $700 (income $43,389 or less, home $350,000 or less); SAFESR refunds 75% of tax for 65+ under $25,380.

Homestead: first $75,000 of a home's appraised value is exempt from the statewide 20-mill school levy. Kansas homestead refunds are for homeowners only; renters no longer qualify.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
