Notice of Hearing on Proposed Administrative Regulations
A public hearing will be conducted by the Department of Revenue at 9:00 a.m. Wednesday, December 13, 2023, in the Secretary’s Conference Room 4th Floor, Mills Building, 109 SW 9th St., Topeka, KS 66612, regarding the proposed amendment of K.A.R. 92-22-17 and the proposed revocation of K.A.R. 92-22-14, 92-22-23, and 92-22-32. These are regulations supporting the Kansas Homestead Property Tax Refund program.
K.A.R. 92-22-17. Exercise of right to file claim on behalf of claimant. The Department proposes amending this regulation, simplifying it to match current statutory requirements and Department practice for accepting Homestead refund claims filed under a power of attorney.
K.A.R. 92-22-14. Rent constituting property taxes accrued; services. | 92-22-23. Computation of amount of claim; rental and ownership of a homestead during the same calendar year. | 92-22-32. Homestead; charges for services, furniture, personal property, etc. When these regulations were adopted, both homeowners and renters were eligible to receive Homestead refunds. These regulations address issues specific to renters. Because renters are no longer eligible for Homestead refunds, the Department proposes revoking these regulations.
The Department of Revenue does not anticipate any significant economic or environmental impact on governmental agencies or units or the general public because of the changes to these regulations. Copies of the proposed regulations and the Economic Impact Statements may be found online at https://www.ksrevenue.gov/prproposedregulations.html, or by contacting Taylor Murray at taylor.murray@ks.gov.
