Property Tax Rebate Program: $100,000 Available

The city council voted 7-4 to allocate $100,000 for property tax rebates.

How It Works

The program returns the city portion of your property tax bill if you qualify. The program started in 2022. Most participants are older adults on fixed incomes.

Who Qualifies?

You must meet two requirements:

1. Income at or below 65% of Kansas City area median family income
2. Property value at or below $567,661 (increased for 2026)

City staff wanted to increase the income threshold to 75%, but the council kept it at 65%.

Council Concerns

Some council members worry the program does not help younger families or newer homeowners. They want to find ways to support these groups too.

Applications opened Tuesday, January 13, 2026.
