Property tax break by VA rating
| VA rating | Property tax break | Saves / yr* |
|---|---|---|
| 10–40% | No statewide exemption | — |
| 50–90% | Property tax freeze at your first year’s amount (income and home value limits; see above) | $0 in year one |

*Example: a $400,000 home at Kansas's average property tax rate of 1.30%, about $5,200 a year before any exemption. Your bill depends on your county and home. IU means paid at the 100% rate for individual unemployability. P&T means permanent and total. Exemptions aren't automatic: you apply with your county assessor after you buy.
