2024 Property Tax Rebate Program
The City of Topeka Property Tax Rebate Program is based on the State of Kansas program that allows a rebate of a portion of the property taxes paid on a Kansas resident’s homestead.
A homestead is the house, mobile or manufactured home, or other dwelling subject to property tax that you own and occupy as a primary residence. Your rebate will come from and cannot exceed the property tax amount that was originally paid to the City of Topeka.
City property tax rebates are not available to renters. You must own and occupy your primary home within the Topeka city limits to qualify. All refunds will be distributed on a first come first serve basis until the City’s allocated funds for the program are exhausted.
