Are property taxes prorated between buyer and seller?
Property is not prorated on the tax roll when acquired and is not prorated off the tax roll when disposed of (KSA 79-309). However, private contracts between buyers and sellers will often prorate the property tax. The only exceptions to this are for motor vehicles and watercraft, and when taxable property becomes exempt or exempt property becomes taxable.
