Applications for Overland Park’s property tax rebate program open on Sunday, June 1.
The Overland Park City Council approved plans in March for a new program that will provide property tax relief to residents who need it most.
The property tax rebate pilot program will offer eligible residents up to 75% of their City property taxes back. To be eligible to apply, you must:
- Be an Overland Park resident
- Live in and own your home
- Be current on your property taxes
- Meet very low-income limits from the Department of Housing and Urban Development
Applicants must also have paid their property taxes in full in both December 2024 and May 2025 before the City will provide the rebate.
Potential savings
The average home value in Overland Park is $498,188. Based on the City’s mill rate, Overland Park’s share of the average home’s property taxes is equal to $832. Under the rebate program, eligible residents could get up to 75% of that, or $624, back.
Priorities for awarding rebates
The City will award rebates based on priority criteria, including:
- Income: Household income at or below HUD’s very low-income or extremely low-income limits.
- Appraised value: Homes that are appraised lower than Overland Park’s previous year’s average property value.
- Additional needs: Veterans, people with disabilities, and senior citizens over the age of 65.
- Long-time residence: Homeowners who have stayed at their current address for more than 15 years.
- Priority neighborhoods: Homeowners living in one of the City’s risk-watch neighborhoods.
