Kansas SB397 ensures that individuals retain eligibility for homestead property tax refunds and SAFESR tax credits even if their home's appraised.

Kansas SB397 amends the homestead property tax refund act to ensure that individuals who previously qualified for a homestead property tax refund or the SAFESR tax credit do not lose eligibility if their home's appraised valuation subsequently exceeds $350,000. This change applies to tax years 2026 and beyond, ensuring that the appraised valuation at the time of qualification remains the determining factor for eligibility.
