12-1775.Taxing subdivision and real property taxes defined; assessment and distribution of taxes; pledge of proceeds of bonds. (a) Except for redevelopment projects satisfying the conditions of subsection (c) of K.S.A. 12-1771b, and amendments thereto, all tangible taxable property located within a redevelopment district shall be assessed and taxed for ad valorem tax purposes pursuant to law in the same manner that such property would be assessed and taxed if located outside such district, and all ad valorem taxes levied on such property shall be paid to and collected by the county treasurer in the same manner as other taxes are paid and collected. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the county treasurer shall distribute such taxes as may be collected in the same manner as if such property were located outside a redevelopment district. Each redevelopment district established under the provisions of this act shall constitute a separate taxing unit for the purpose of the computation and levy of taxes.

(b) Except for redevelopment projects satisfying the conditions of subsection (c) of K.S.A. 12-1771b, and amendments thereto, beginning with the first payment of taxes which are levied following the date of the establishment of the redevelopment district real property taxes received by the county treasurer resulting from taxes which are levied subject to the provisions of this act by and for the benefit of a taxing subdivision, as defined in K.S.A. 12-1770a, and amendments thereto, on property located within such redevelopment district constituting a separate taxing unit under the provisions of this section, shall be divided as follows:

(1) From the taxes levied each year subject to the provisions of this act by or for each of the taxing subdivisions upon property located within a redevelopment district constituting a separate taxing unit under the provisions of this act, the county treasurer first shall allocate and pay to each such taxing subdivision all of the real property taxes collected which are produced from the base year assessed valuation.

(2) Any real property taxes produced from that portion of the current assessed valuation of real property within the redevelopment district constituting a separate taxing unit under the provisions of this section in excess of the base year assessed valuation shall be allocated and paid by the county treasurer to the treasurer of the city and deposited in a special fund of the city to pay the redevelopment project costs including the payment of principal of and interest on any special obligation bonds or full faith and credit tax increment bonds issued by such city to finance, in whole or in part, such redevelopment project. When the redevelopment project costs have been paid and such obligation bonds and interest thereon have been paid, all moneys thereafter received from real property taxes within such redevelopment district shall be allocated and paid to the respective taxing subdivisions in the same manner as are other ad valorem taxes. If such obligation bonds and interest thereon have been paid before the completion of a project, the city may continue to use such moneys for any purpose authorized by this act until such time as the project is completed, but for not to exceed 20 years from the date of the approval of the project plan, except as otherwise provided by this act.

(c) In any project plan or in the loan documents relating to a loan from the Kansas transportation revolving fund pursuant to K.S.A. 75-5063 et seq., and amendments thereto, or in the proceedings for the issuing of any special obligation bonds or full faith and credit tax increment bonds by the city to finance a redevelopment project, the property tax increment portion of taxes provided for in paragraph (2) of subsection (c) may be irrevocably pledged for the payment of the principal of and interest on such obligation bonds or loan, subject to the provisions of subsection (c) of K.S.A. 12-1774, and amendments thereto.

(d) A city may adopt a project plan in which only a specified percentage or amount of the tax increment realized from taxpayers in the redevelopment district are pledged to the redevelopment project. The county treasurer shall allocate the specified percentage or amount of the tax increment to the treasurer of the city for deposit in the special fund of the city to finance the redevelopment project costs if the city has other available revenues and pledges the revenues to the redevelopment project in lieu of the tax increment. Any portion of such tax increment not allocated to the city for the redevelopment project shall be allocated and paid in the same manner as other ad valorem taxes.
