Exemptions

EXEMPTION APPLICANT REQUIREMENTS:

• The applicant must fill out the TX Application Form completely and thoroughly and must provide all required Additions and other documentary support.

• The applicant's statement of facts must be provided by way of affidavit. Unsworn statements cannot form a basis in fact for a property tax exemption.

• The application must be filed by the property owner or the property owner's attorney. See K.S.A. 79-213.

• The applicant has the legal burden to prove entitlement to exemption. Failure to provide sufficient proof will result in denial of the exemption.

• The application must be filed with the county appraiser for review and recommendation. After the county has completed its review of the application and has made a written recommendation, the county will forward the application and supporting documents to the Board.

COUNTY REVIEW REQUIREMENTS:

• The county is required by law to review the application (and supporting documents) and make a recommendation regarding whether the exemption request should be granted or denied and whether a hearing should be held. See K.S.A. 79-213(d).

• In cases where the county recommends denial of an exemption, the county is required to include in its recommendation a statement of the controlling facts and law relied upon in reaching its negative recommendation.
