What this benefit is

Kansas refunds up to $700 of general property taxes paid, and a disabled veteran qualifies AT ANY AGE where others must be 65 or meet a different test. You must be a Kansas resident all year, own and occupy a home valued at $350,000 or less, and have household income of $43,389 or less for the 2025 claim year. Only ONE refund per household across the K-40H, K-40PT and K-40SVR programmes — so choose the best one.

What it's worth: Up to $700 refunded — and no age requirement on the veteran route

  • The maximum refund is $700 of general property taxes paid.
  • The veteran route removes the AGE requirement that applies to other claimants. That is what makes it worth a separate record.
  • You must be a Kansas resident for the whole year, and own and occupy a home valued at $350,000 or less.
  • Household income must be $43,389 or less for the 2025 claim year. The figure is reset annually.
  • ONLY ONE refund per household across K-40H, K-40PT (SAFESR) and K-40SVR. Compare all three before filing — the base-year freeze may be worth more over time.
  • File with the revenue department by 15 April.
  • The disability percentage threshold for 'disabled veteran' is not established from the sources reviewed.

Who is entitled to it

  • You served in the U.S. armed forces.
  • You have a VA disability rating.
  • You own and live in the home as your principal residence.
  • Your property is in Kansas.

Not sure whether that describes you?

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

How to claim it

Deadline: April 15
  1. 1Compare all three programmes before filing. You get ONE refund per household across K-40H, K-40PT and K-40SVR, and the base-year freeze can be worth more over several years.
  2. 2File by 15 April.
  3. 3If you are under 65, apply anyway — the veteran route has no age requirement, which is the point of it.
  4. 4Check the home value ceiling ($350,000) and the income limit ($43,389 for the 2025 claim year) before assuming you are out.
  5. 5Ask the revenue department what percentage counts as a 'disabled veteran' for this programme — that threshold is not published.
