The Power Of Local Ad Valorem Tax Reduction Funding

Nate Butler, Kansas House Representative for the 68th District, visited with the Morris County Commissioners on December 12 regarding the upcoming legislative session. It is anticipated that Medicaid Expansion and Local Ad Valorem Tax Reduction Funding (LAVTR) will be topics of discussion when the Kansas Legislature reconvenes. The commissioners requested that LAVTR Funding be advocated for, as the agreement between the State and Cities/Counties has not been honored nor funded since 2004. The original agreement from the State was to share a percentage of certain excise and sales taxes with local governments for the purpose of reducing property tax collections.
