KS SCR1621

Proposes a constitutional amendment to completely prohibit property taxes by the state of Kansas and all political subdivisions, including counties, cities, and school districts

Allows a two-year phase-out period during taxable years 2026 and 2027, with full elimination of all property taxation after December 31, 2027

Requires two-thirds approval from both the Kansas Senate and House of Representatives to place the amendment on the ballot

Amendment would be submitted to Kansas voters at the November 2026 general election, unless a special election is called sooner by concurrent resolution

If approved, the new property tax prohibition would supersede all other conflicting constitutional provisions, and existing property classification and exemption rules would expire after December 31, 2027
