Industrial Revenue Bonds Exemption Background – Industrial Revenue Bonds (IRBs) are one of the economic development tools available to Kansas cities and counties. When IRBs are issued as financing for a particular facility or for personal property, the city or county who issued the bonds, holds legal title to the facility or personal property while the bonds are outstanding and the facility is exempt from property taxation for that period or up to 10 years. In order to qualify, the property in question must be deeded to the governmental entity that issued the IRB's, which in turn seeks the ad valorem tax exemption. Such property is currently exempt pursuant to subsection, Second, which pertains to property used exclusively by the state or any municipality or political subdivision of the state. (K.S.A. 2012 Supp. 79-201a Second) A new subsection was created, Twenty Fourth, which provides that for all taxable years commencing after December 31, 2012, any property constructed or purchased in part with the proceeds of IRBs issued on or after July 1, 2013, shall be exempt from taxation for the value of that portion of the property financed by the IRBs and only for a period of 10 years after the calendar year in which the bonds are issued. In this new subsection, the property does not have to be used exclusively by the state or any municipality or political subdivision of the state. House Bill 2059 § 10, amending K.S.A. 79-201a.
