Kansas should amend its constitution to cap yearly increases in property tax assessments.

Kansas does not limit how fast a home's assessed value can rise from year to year, so tax bills can climb with market prices. A cap would slow those increases and limit growth in local government and school revenue.

Agree

We have two problems. We have rapid increases, and then we have taxing someone on an unrealized gain. So this amendment goes after that rapid increase.
