Condominium Property Tax Question
I own two condominiums incorporated in a Homeowners Association. I live in one and rent the other out. They are housed in one structure utilizing a duplex design. There are a total of 4 duplex designed structures in the total Homeowners Association ownership. There is Homeowners Association Common Area that includes the grounds around the structures and the ground under the structures as well as the shells of the structures. The only portion of the property that I have title to and individual ownership of is from the floor and ceiling treatments and the wall sheet rock inwards. (i.e I own the floor tile, the wall sheet rock and the ceiling sheet rock and any portion of elctrical/plumbing/HVAC that extends inward beyond these boudaries) This property is located in the state of Kansas. Currently I am assessed, as an individual, the Property Tax for the "structure" containing my two condos and the Association is assesed, as a corporation, Property Tax for only the ground around the structures.
My question relates to why I am assesed Property tax for portions of the Homeowners Association property to which I do not own and is owned by the corporation? (this portion is the ground under the structure and the shell of the structure)
Should I be assessed only for the portion that I have title of ownership to? Should the Association be assessed for the shell of the structure and the ground under it?
Is the assessment determination the responsibility of the assessing authority or should it be determined by the Association Charter and Homeowners Assoc Agreement?
