As part of the 2024 budget process, the Governing Body has again allocated $25,000 from the City’s budget to a property tax rebate program designed to alleviate some of the burden of home ownership due to rising property values. Qualified residents will be reimbursed 100% of the City’s portion of property taxes, excluding special assessments.

2024 Eligibility requirements:

Only property owners that are Prairie Village residents living in owner-occupied homes, are current on payment of their property taxes and special assessments, and meet the following income guidelines are eligible for the program. Please note that income guidelines are based on total income, not adjusted gross income.

Eligible applicants must also live in a home that is appraised by the county at or below the previous year’s average property value in the City (in 2023, this amount was $496,424).

Application instructions:

The City Clerk’s office will begin accepting applications at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, January 9, 2024, on a first-come, first-served basis. Applicants will be required to submit proof of their 2022 income for all household members (i.e., tax return and/or social security statement). The types of income that must be reported are attached to the application.

Applications must be delivered in-person to Prairie Village City Hall.

Refunds will be distributed as funds allow to eligible applicants in the order in which applications were received.
