City expands Property Tax Rebate Program to help more residents save

Published on June 09, 2025

Applications for Lenexa's 2025 Property Tax Rebate Program open on Friday, Aug. 1. More homeowners will be able to apply this year due to broader eligibility criteria. 

In 2024, Lenexa introduced a Property Tax Rebate Pilot Program to help qualifying homeowners offset the impact of rising property values. While the program received positive feedback in its first year, only 33 homeowners qualified due to the narrow eligibility requirements.

The Lenexa City Council approved policy revisions in May that will expand program eligibility to more residents who need relief the most. To be eligible to apply, you must now:

• Be age 62 or older be a disabled veteran with a 50% or more disability rating.
• Own and live in your home in Lenexa.
• Have a home valued at no more than $467,962.
• Be current on your property taxes.
• Have an annual household at or below the 2024 low-income limit from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

If eligible, you can get a rebate worth up to 75% of the portion of your property tax bill that goes to the City. The exact amount you'll receive depends on how many people apply. Most homeowners can expect to get between $500 and $1,000 back.
