Topeka Property Taxes Set to Rise | Topeka News

Topeka’s city council just approved new property tax limits, setting the stage for modest but meaningful hikes for homeowners. The city’s tax rate climbs from 36.956 to 37.126 — a 0.17% jump that translates to roughly $34.95 more annually on a $150K home. Meanwhile, the Metro Transit Authority’s rate rises from 3.999 to 4.2 — a 0.2% bump costing about $7.90 on the same home. While these numbers seem small, they’re part of a broader budget balancing act: keeping taxes low while funding essential services. With home values rising 2–11% across the county, some residents could face even steeper increases. Council members are walking a tightrope — aiming to protect affordability without sacrificing critical infrastructure.
