The City is no longer accepting applications for the 2024 program. Information about the 2025 program will be available in the future. 

A property tax rebate program is available to income eligible Olathe residents to offset the City property tax. The program’s intent is to help those in need of assistance and ensure living in Olathe remains affordable. A 100% rebate of the City of Olathe property tax portion, up to $750 (excluding special assessments) may be provided.

Rebate Eligibility

• Applicant must be a current City of Olathe resident.
• Applicant must currently live in and own their home.
• Applicant must be current on property taxes and special assessments and free of code violations.
• Applicant’s maximum total household income must be at or below HUD low-income guidelines (considered 80% of area median income) for the fiscal year. (Current 2023 guidelines are below).
• Applicant will be required to provide a copy of their federal tax return as proof of income. For household members who are not required to file a federal income tax return, proof of social security, veteran, or other benefit payments will be accepted.
• Applicants who have applied for state property tax rebate programs may still qualify for City relief in full (up to $750). Visit OlatheKS.gov for more information about the Property Tax Rebate Program.

Veterans Rebate

A property tax rebate for Veterans was approved by the Olathe City Council in September 2024. More information about the Veterans rebate program will be available in late 2024, and applications will be available in 2025.
