Estimated Tax Notice Information
Decatur County property owners will soon
receive a notification in the mail regarding the County's revenue neutral
rates. This notice is not a tax bill. No action is needed in response to the
notice, it is for information purposes only.
Kansas Statute now requires all taxing
authorities to host a public hearing and send notification to property owners
if the proposed budgets will exceed the Revenue Neutral Rate (RNR).The revenue
neutral rate (RNR) is the mill levy rate that would generate the exact the same
amount of property tax revenue as the year before, using the current tax year's
total assessed valuation. Revenue neutral is when a taxing jurisdiction budgets
the exact same amount of property tax revenue, in dollars, for the upcoming
budget year as they did for the current year. If a taxing entity plans to use
more property tax revenue in the next budget year compared to the current year,
even $1 more, they would exceed revenue neutral and need to hold a public
hearing.
For more information or assistance with questions contact the Decatur
County Clerk's Office at 785-475-8102.
