In an effort to encourage reinvestment in the established areas of the City, the Shawnee Governing Body has identified a portion of the city where certain types of new construction and improvements to residential, office, and commercial structures may be eligible for a ten year property tax rebate. The City renewed the program in January 2023, which will continue to make the incentive available for property improvements through January 23, 2033.
For residential properties, improvements made to the property must increase the appraised value by at least $10,000,
For commercial properties, improvements made to the property must increase the appraised value by at least $20,000.
Applicants may then qualify for a rebate of 90% of the eligible taxes paid on that increased value for ten years. The remaining 10% of the taxes will be placed in a special fund that the City will use to make improvements to the Neighborhood Revitalization (NRA) boundary area.
An application form to participate in the program may be submitted to:
Community Development Department - 11110 Johnson Drive - Shawnee, KS 66203 or at [email protected].
