In property tax rates, Manhattan is in the middle of the pack.
New data from the Kansas League of Municipalities puts Manhattan in 15th place out of 26 of the state’s largest cities. The current tax rate here is 150.404 mills; a mill is $1 in tax for every $1,000 in assessed, taxable property value. That figure includes the taxes levied by the city government, the county and the school district — the three big tax entities here and nearly everywhere else in Kansas.
