In an effort to encourage redevelopment 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, commercial and industrial structures may be eligible for a ten year property tax rebate. This incentive is available for improvements made after January 14, 2013 and before January 13, 2023.
If improvements made to the property increase the appraised value by at least $5,000, 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.
The City has partnered with Johnson County, Johnson County Community College, the Shawnee Mission School District, Johnson County Park and Recreation District, and the Johnson County Library District to make this Neighborhood Revitalization program available.
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].
