State tax official favors property classification In the next two years the bill would also appropriate more than $4.7 million from various state funds for the University of Kansas Medical Center. By ROB KARWATH Staff Reporter Staff Reporter TOPEKA — The official in charge of collecting taxes in Kansas yesterday told a Senate committee that he agreed in theory with a plan designed to prevent property taxes for farmers and landowners, causing dramatically after reappraisal. "I support adopting a classification proposal," he said. "But I do not normally hears it." Harley Duncan, secretary of the Kansas Department of Revenue, said he thought the Legislature should approve a plan that would allow different types of property to be taxed at different rates. The Kansas Constitution now requires all property to be taxed at the same rate. But Duncan said that a House-passed resolution, which is being considered this week by the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee, is not the only classification plan that could work. BOTH THE HOUSE and the Senate have passed reappraisal bills. Because the bills differ, a conference committee of legislators from both houses is working on a compromise bill to send to Gov. John Carlin before the Legislature adjourns, probably sometime in mid-April. Last week the House passed a resolution that would amend the Kansas Constitution to allow all prophets to speak in public, so it could be taxed at different rates. other proposals that can be developed." other proposals that can be developed." To reappraise property without classification would increase taxes to farmers and homeowners, Duncan said. WITHOUT CLASSIFICATION, Duncan said, the tax burden paid by owners of agricultural real estate would increase from 15.4 percent to 33.3 percent of burden paid by homeowners would jump from 18.3 percent to 25.5 percent. But under the House's classification plan, the burden of the state's taxes paid by farmers would be held to 18.6 percent. The burden of Kansas' total property tax revenue paid by homeowners would fall to 14.2 percent. The House-approved classification system would lower the assessment ratios on farmland and residential property to 6 and 8 percent, respectively. My Johnys, a spokesman for Carlin, also told the committee that a classi- fically entitled judge. But Myers agreed with Duncan that the only workable reappraisal plan is not the only workable reappraisal plan. The state now assesses all property at 30 percent of its appraised value. The House plan proposes that property be classified in groups and be assessed at between 6 and 30 percent of appraised value. The classification measure was prompted by concerns that the state would reappraise all property this year or next year or that a court may order that state to reappraise. Kansas has not reappraised property since the 1960s. * Positions Opening * Student is to be charged with forging KU bus passes By the Kansan Staff Boog and Carla ENJOY A ROYAL WEEKEND IN THE COUNTRY Paid for by the Student Activity Fee We Are Now Taking Applications For The STUDENT SENATE Office Staff.
