---|
22 | 22 | | assessments, property taxes, grants or any other source of revenue lawfully |
---|
23 | 23 | | available to the municipality for such purpose. In order to ensure |
---|
24 | 24 | | repayment by municipalities of the amounts of loans provided under this |
---|
25 | 25 | | act, the secretary, after consultation with the governing body of any |
---|

---|
28 | 28 | | remain in effect until the total amount of the loan, and any interest thereon, |
---|
29 | 29 | | has been repaid. The charges shall, insofar as is practicable, be equitably |
---|
30 | 30 | | assessed and may be in the form of a surcharge to the existing charges of |

85 | 85 | | 3306. The secretary's annual request for appropriations to the water |
---|
86 | 86 | | pollution control account shall be based on an estimate of the fiscal needs |
---|
87 | 87 | | for the ensuing budget year, less any amounts received by the secretary |
---|
88 | 88 | | from any public or private grants or contributions and moneys in such |
---|
89 | 89 | | account shall be used solely for the purposes provided for by this act. |
---|
90 | 90 | | Moneys allocated to a municipality shall be encumbered as an expenditure |
---|
91 | 91 | | of this account upon the formal letting of a contract for the improvement |
---|
92 | 92 | | notwithstanding the date on which actual payment is made of the state |
---|
93 | 93 | | financial assistance. Any municipality may contribute moneys to the state |
---|
94 | 94 | | water pollution control account. If there are no uncommitted or |
---|
95 | 95 | | unencumbered moneys in the water pollution control account, any |
---|
96 | 96 | | municipality applying for any water pollution control project as defined in |

---|
100 | 100 | | will be made to the water pollution control account by such municipality |

---|
103 | 103 | | water pollution control account for use solely in the project for which the |
---|
104 | 104 | | municipality has made application. |
---|
105 | 105 | | Notwithstanding the provisions of K.S.A. 79-2960 and 79-2961, any |
---|
106 | 106 | | municipality applying for such a water pollution control project may make |
---|
107 | 107 | | such contribution from all or such part of its share of the local ad valorem |
---|
108 | 108 | | tax reduction fund as may be necessary for such purpose, and to the extent |
---|
109 | 109 | | such fund is pledged and used for such purpose the municipality shall not |
---|
110 | 110 | | be required to make the tax levy reductions otherwise required by K.S.A. |
---|
111 | 111 | | 79-2960 and 79-2961. Taxes levied by any municipality by reason of its |
---|
112 | 112 | | failure to make such reduction in its levies shall not be subject to or be |
---|
113 | 113 | | considered in computing the aggregate limitation upon the levy of taxes by |
---|
114 | 114 | | such municipality under the provisions of K.S.A. 79-5003. |

332 | 332 | | board of tax appeals finds that the county is not in substantial compliance |
---|
333 | 333 | | with the provisions of law and the guidelines and timetables of the director |
---|
334 | 334 | | of property valuation providing for the appraisal of all property in the |

335 | 335 | | county or the updating of the appraisals on an annual basis, it shall order |
---|
336 | 336 | | the immediate assumption of the duties of the office of county appraiser by |
---|
337 | 337 | | the director of the division of property valuation until such time as the |
---|
338 | 338 | | director of property valuation determines that the county is in substantial |
---|
339 | 339 | | compliance with the provisions of law. In addition, the board shall order |
---|
340 | 340 | | the state treasurer to withhold all or a portion of the county's entitlement to |
---|
341 | 341 | | moneys from either or both of the local ad valorem tax reduction fund and |
---|
342 | 342 | | the city and county and city revenue sharing fund for the year following |
---|
343 | 343 | | the year in which the order is issued. Upon service of any such order on |
---|
344 | 344 | | the board of county commissioners, the appraiser shall immediately |
---|
345 | 345 | | deliver to the director of property valuation, or the director's designee, all |
---|
346 | 346 | | books, records and papers pertaining to the appraiser's office. |
---|
347 | 347 | | (2) Any county for which the director of the division of property |
---|
348 | 348 | | valuation is ordered by the state board of tax appeals to assume the |
---|
349 | 349 | | responsibility and duties of the office of county appraiser shall reimburse |
---|
350 | 350 | | the state for the actual costs incurred by the director of the division of |
---|
351 | 351 | | property valuation in the assumption and carrying out of such |
---|
352 | 352 | | responsibility and duties, including any contracting costs in the event it is |
---|
353 | 353 | | necessary for the director of property valuation to contract with private |
---|
354 | 354 | | appraisal firms to carry out such responsibilities and duties. |
---|
355 | 355 | | (b) (1) On or before June 1 of each year, the director of property |
---|
356 | 356 | | valuation shall review the appraisal of property in each county or district |
---|
357 | 357 | | to determine if property within the county or district is being appraised or |
---|
358 | 358 | | valued in accordance with the requirements of law. If the director |
---|
359 | 359 | | determines the property in any county or district is not being appraised in |
---|
360 | 360 | | accordance with the requirements of law, the director of property valuation |
---|
361 | 361 | | shall notify the county or district appraiser and the board of county |
---|
362 | 362 | | commissioners of any county or counties affected that the county has 30 |
---|
363 | 363 | | days within which to submit to the director a plan for bringing the |
---|
364 | 364 | | appraisal of property within the county into compliance. |
---|
365 | 365 | | (2) If a plan is submitted and approved by the director, the county or |
---|
366 | 366 | | district shall proceed to implement the plan as submitted. The director |
---|
367 | 367 | | shall continue to monitor the program to insure that the plan is |
---|
368 | 368 | | implemented as submitted. If no plan is submitted or if the director does |
---|
369 | 369 | | not approve the plan, the director shall petition the state board of tax |
---|
370 | 370 | | appeals for a review of the plan or, if no plan is submitted, for authority for |
---|
371 | 371 | | the division of property valuation to assume control of the appraisal |
---|
372 | 372 | | program of the county and to proceed to bring the same into compliance |

419 | 419 | | plan has been submitted or the plan submitted is not approved, the board |
---|
420 | 420 | | shall fix a time within which the county may submit a plan or an amended |
---|
421 | 421 | | plan for approval. If no plan is submitted and approved within the time |
---|
422 | 422 | | prescribed by the board, the board shall order the division of property |
---|
423 | 423 | | valuation to assume control of the appraisal program of the county and |
---|
424 | 424 | | shall certify its order to the state treasurer who shall withhold distributions |
---|
425 | 425 | | of the county's share of moneys from the county and city revenue sharing |
---|
426 | 426 | | fund and the local ad valorem tax reduction fund and credit the same to the |
---|
427 | 427 | | general fund of the state for the year following the year in which the |
---|
428 | 428 | | board's order is made. The director of property valuation shall certify the |
---|
429 | 429 | | amount of the cost incurred by the division in bringing the program in |
---|
430 | 430 | | compliance to the state board of tax appeals. The board shall order the |
---|
431 | 431 | | county commissioners to reimburse the state for such costs. |
---|
432 | 432 | | (c) The state board of tax appeals shall, within 60 days after the |
---|
433 | 433 | | publication of the Kansas assessment/sales ratio study, review such |
---|
434 | 434 | | publication to determine county compliance with K.S.A. 79-1439, and |
---|
435 | 435 | | amendments thereto. If, in the determination of the board, one or more |
---|
436 | 436 | | counties are not in substantial compliance and the director of property |
---|
437 | 437 | | valuation has not acted under subsection (b), the board shall order the |
---|
438 | 438 | | director of property valuation to take such corrective action as is necessary |
---|
439 | 439 | | or to show cause for noncompliance. |
---|
440 | 440 | | Sec. 6. K.S.A. 2023 Supp. 79-2959 is hereby amended to read as |
---|
441 | 441 | | follows: 79-2959. (a) There is hereby created the local ad valorem tax |
---|
442 | 442 | | reduction fund. All moneys transferred or credited to such fund under the |
---|
443 | 443 | | provisions of this act or any other law shall be apportioned and distributed |
---|
444 | 444 | | in the manner provided herein. |
---|
445 | 445 | | (b) On January 15 and on July 15 of each year, the director of |
---|
446 | 446 | | accounts and reports shall make transfers in equal amounts that in the |
---|
447 | 447 | | aggregate equal 3.63% of the total retail sales and compensating taxes |
---|
448 | 448 | | credited to the state general fund pursuant to articles 36 and 37 of chapter |
---|
449 | 449 | | 79 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto, during the |
---|
450 | 450 | | preceding calendar year from the state general fund to the local ad valorem |
---|
451 | 451 | | tax reduction fund, except that: (1) No moneys shall be transferred from |
---|
452 | 452 | | the state general fund to the local ad valorem tax reduction fund during |
---|
453 | 453 | | state fiscal years 2023, 2024 and 2025; and (2) the amount of the transfer |
---|
454 | 454 | | on each such date shall be $27,000,000 during fiscal year 2026 and all |
---|
455 | 455 | | fiscal years thereafter. All such transfers are subject to reduction under |
---|
456 | 456 | | K.S.A. 75-6704, and amendments thereto. All transfers made in |
---|
457 | 457 | | accordance with the provisions of this section shall be considered to be |
---|
458 | 458 | | revenue transfers from the state general fund. |

505 | 505 | | shall be apportioned on the basis of the population figures of the counties |
---|
506 | 506 | | certified to the secretary of state pursuant to K.S.A. 11-201, and |
---|
507 | 507 | | amendments thereto, on July 1 of the preceding year; and (2) 35% of such |
---|
508 | 508 | | amount shall be apportioned on the basis of the equalized assessed tangible |
---|
509 | 509 | | valuations on the tax rolls of the counties on November 1 of the preceding |
---|
510 | 510 | | year as certified by the director of property valuation. |
---|
511 | 511 | | Sec. 7. K.S.A. 79-2960 is hereby amended to read as follows: 79- |
---|
512 | 512 | | 2960. Each year, the county treasurer shall estimate the amount of money |
---|
513 | 513 | | each political subdivision in such county (, including the county as one |
---|
514 | 514 | | such political subdivision), will receive from the local ad valorem tax |
---|
515 | 515 | | reduction fund. The state treasurer shall use the most recent available |
---|
516 | 516 | | information to advise each county treasurer, prior to June 1 of each year, of |
---|
517 | 517 | | the amount of the local ad valorem tax reduction fund of the state that the |
---|
518 | 518 | | state treasurer estimates (using the most recent available information) will |
---|
519 | 519 | | be paid to such county on January 15 and July 15 of the following year. |
---|
520 | 520 | | The county treasurer shall, before June 15 of each year, notify the treasurer |
---|
521 | 521 | | of each political subdivision of the estimated amount in dollars of the |
---|
522 | 522 | | distributions to be made from the local ad valorem tax reduction fund. |
---|
523 | 523 | | Such estimate shall be made in accordance with K.S.A. 79-2961, and |
---|
524 | 524 | | amendments thereto. Each tangible property tax levying political |
---|
525 | 525 | | subdivision shall set out a local ad valorem tax reduction fund item of |
---|
526 | 526 | | income for one or more tangible property tax funds of general application |
---|
527 | 527 | | (excepting bond and interest funds), in its budget for the current year tax |
---|
528 | 528 | | levies, the amount which the county treasurer has estimated as the share of |
---|
529 | 529 | | such local ad valorem tax reduction funds to be so credited. The director of |
---|
530 | 530 | | accounts and reports shall make suitable provision in the budget forms to |
---|
531 | 531 | | be used by such subdivisions for listing local ad valorem tax reduction |
---|
532 | 532 | | fund income items. |
---|
533 | 533 | | Sec. 8. K.S.A. 79-2961 is hereby amended to read as follows: 79- |

535 | 535 | | budgets are made pursuant to K.S.A. 79-2960 and amendments thereto and |
---|
536 | 536 | | tax levies are filed with the county clerk. Prior to crediting the proper |
---|
537 | 537 | | amounts under subsection (c) and except as provided in subsection (d) (b), |
---|
538 | 538 | | the county treasurer shall divide the amount paid by the state treasurer |
---|
539 | 539 | | from the local ad valorem tax reduction fund to the county treasurer among |
---|
540 | 540 | | the county and all other taxing subdivisions of the county except school |
---|
541 | 541 | | districts and any incorporated city within which any portion of the Fort |

542 | 542 | | Riley military reservation is located and which that would otherwise be a |

543 | 543 | | participant in the Riley county allocation, which comply with the |

597 | 597 | | amendments thereto and this section unless and until such political |

600 | 600 | | levy funds of general application within such subdivision except bond and |

603 | 603 | | would produce for each such fund, in an amount equal to or in excess of |

604 | 604 | | the amount of such distribution. The budget of each political subdivision |

605 | 605 | | also shall show that the aggregate levies made by such tangible property |

606 | 606 | | tax-levying political subdivisions will produce a sum less than the amount |

607 | 607 | | which the aggregate levy would produce in an amount equal to or in |

608 | 608 | | excess of the aggregate amount of the budget items of such distribution |

609 | 609 | | shown in the aggregate levy. |
---|
610 | 610 | | (c) In crediting the amount that has been divided pursuant to |
---|
611 | 611 | | subsection (a) or subsection (d), The county treasurer shall proceed as |
---|
612 | 612 | | follows: Upon receipt of the payment from the state treasurer each year, |
---|
613 | 613 | | credit the appropriate fund or funds of each political subdivision |
---|
614 | 614 | | complying with the provisions of this act with its proportionate share of |
---|
615 | 615 | | such payment and the county treasurer shall notify such political |
---|
616 | 616 | | subdivision of the amounts so credited. This section and K.S.A. 79-2960, |
---|
617 | 617 | | and amendments thereto, shall not apply to school districts. After the |
---|
618 | 618 | | crediting of the July 15 payment, the entire amount credited during the |
---|
619 | 619 | | calendar year to such appropriate fund of each political subdivision shall |
---|
620 | 620 | | be credited by each such political subdivision to residential property |
---|
621 | 621 | | taxpayers in the form of a rebate. Such rebate amount shall be reflected as |
---|
622 | 622 | | a credit on the next ensuing property tax statement of each residential |
---|
623 | 623 | | property taxpayer. Such rebate amount shall be determined by: |
---|
624 | 624 | | (1) Dividing the total amount of such payments received by the |
---|
625 | 625 | | political subdivision during the calendar year by the total assessed |
---|
626 | 626 | | valuation of all residential property in such political subdivision for the |
---|
627 | 627 | | current tax year; and |
---|
628 | 628 | | (2) multiplying the quotient determined under paragraph (1) by the |
---|
629 | 629 | | assessed valuation of the taxpayer's residential property for the current tax |
---|
630 | 630 | | year. |
---|
