Kansas personal property tax on homebuilts

[Shadetree]

Does anyone on this forum have details of the homebuilt tax exemption in the state of Kansas that was passed last year?
Does it apply to those built in Kansas or any homebuilt bought and brought to Kansas?

Thanks

I believe the bill you are referring to is the one that amended statute 79-220. See this link:

The exemption is applicable to all amateur built aircraft that are in Kansas. It will cost $100 processing fee with the county to cover all of the paperwork, but pretty straight forward.

That is good news. I was hoping that if a person bought one already built the exemption would apply.
I hope to get a RV bought in a couple of weeks.

what part of Kansas are you from...I see it says western Kansas. I live in great bend and lived in several places out further west.

Elkhart. Right at the edge of the world.

Each county in KS is responsible for collecting the property tax, even if it's levied by the state. I know a few counties have tried to interpret the law to mean the exemption only applies to the original builder, but that was not the intent nor the wording. The wording simply says it must be 'amateur built'...it doesn't say anything about the original builder being the current owner. If you have any trouble convincing your local county tax assessor that you are exempt feel free to contact me for assistance. I was the one who worked with my local KS House representative (Larry Campbell) to introduce the bill, so I know we can get everybody straightened out on the proper interpretation as needed

Note to Moderator: Might be nice to move this thread out of Classifieds so it can be found in future searches.
