Homestead exemption in Kansas
Kansas Homestead Refund Program (Form K-40H). This refund covers part of the general property tax paid for a homestead in Kansas. The percentage depends on household income. The most you can get back is $700. A home valued above $350,000 does not qualify, and income must not exceed $43,389.
To apply, submit Form K-40H online through Kansas Homestead WebFile (kansas.gov/ssrv-homestead). People filing for the first time may choose third-party vendor software or submit a paper return. County clerks can assist you with the filing.
The filing deadline is April 15 each year.

Guide to appealing a Kansas property tax assessment
APPEAL BYThe appeal deadline is 30 days after mailing the valuation notice
Equalization offers a way to challenge your home's value. Start through the county appraiser's office within 30 days after the valuation notice was mailed. If the informal meeting results do not satisfy you, appeal to BOTA within 30 days after those results.
The first hearing is an informal meeting with the County appraiser, followed by the Board of Tax Appeals Small Claims Division.

Due dates for Kansas property taxes
Pay the full amount or the first half of real property tax by December 20. You must pay the second half by May 10 in the following year. Counties charge interest when payments are late.

Exemption for disabled veterans in Kansas
This is a state refund. It is not an exemption. Kansas homeowners who were honorably discharged may claim this refund if their service-connected rating is 50% or more. Surviving spouses may also claim it until they remarry. The household income limit is $58,041 or less, and the home may be worth no more than $350,000.
The source is ksrevenue.gov.
Relief for disabled homeowners
At any age, homeowners may receive the K-40H homestead refund when blind or totally and permanently disabled throughout the year. They must also meet the $43,389 income limit and home value limit.
The source is hvcoksvote.gov.
How your Kansas home is valued
Each year, the county appraiser assesses homes at fair market value as of January 1. For residential property, state law sets a fixed assessment rate of 11.5%, and the assessed value forms the basis of your tax bill.

Additional Kansas property tax rules worth knowing
- The refund through K-40SVR, called Property Tax Relief for Seniors and Disabled Veterans, pays the difference between base-year and current-year homestead property tax. Your household income cannot exceed $58,041 in 2025.
- If you miss the March appeal, a Payment Under Protest allows you to contest your value. Pay your taxes and submit the form by either the December 20 or May 10 deadline. You cannot use this option if you already filed an appeal for that year.
- People filing under Homestead, SAFESR, or K-40SVR can select a box on the form that asks the Department of Revenue to send the County Treasurer next year's refund advance. It helps you pay the first half of your property taxes.
- The Kansas Board of Tax Appeals decides other property tax exemptions, including those for nonprofit or charitable property. The county appraiser's office handles applications, and a decision may require two to six months.
