New special districts
There will be a number of new special districts in Kansas in 2015. These are complicated. Each district encompasses particular addresses on particular streets (maybe only odd addresses, maybe only even addresses, maybe both). I would say it’s unbelievable, except for that’s the way special districts are done. Specifics are available on the Department of Revenue rate change page.
