Kansas DOR Provides Personal Property Tax Guidance on Trailers Exemption

The Kansas Department of Revenue (DOR) provided guidance on whether the new personal property exemption for “trailers” applies to “travel trailers.” The DOR’s Property Valuation Division advised that the two terms are treated as separate and distinct, and the exemption created in H.B. 2231 (2025) for trailers does not extend to travel trailers. The Division stated that K.S.A. 79-5118 controls and justifies disparate treatment between the terms “trailer” and “travel trailer.” [Kan. Dep’t of Revenue, HB 2231 Personal Property Exemption – Travel Trailers, 11/13/25]
