Senior, Veteran and Disability Property Tax Relief in Kansas

Kansas helps seniors through refunds rather than exemptions. For 2025: Property Tax Relief for low-income seniors (K-40PT) refunds 75% of property taxes actually and timely paid on the principal residence for homeowners 65 or older who lived in Kansas all year with household income of $25,380 or less. The Senior and Disabled Veteran Refund (K-40SVR) is for homeowners 65 or older, disabled veterans, and surviving spouses of either, with household income of no more than $58,041. The Homestead Refund (K-40H) is available to owner-occupants born before 1970 with household income of $43,389 or less, up to $700. Homes valued at $350,000 or more do not qualify for the homestead refund.

Disabled veterans with a service-connected disability evaluation of 50% or more may claim the Homestead Refund (K-40H, up to $700, household income $43,389 or less for 2025) or the Senior and Disabled Veteran Refund (K-40SVR, household income no more than $58,041 for 2025), which also covers a surviving spouse of a disabled veteran. These are refunds of property tax paid on a Kansas home the veteran owns and occupies.

Kansas residents who are blind or permanently disabled and own and occupy their home may claim the Homestead Refund (K-40H) for 2025 if household income is $43,389 or less; the refund is a percentage of general property tax based on income, up to $700.
