Bonner Springs's own Redfin-sourced sold median ran $311,000 in March 2026 (down 8.5% year-over-year) but $375,000 in April 2026, with active August 2026 listings carrying a $390,000 median list price -- a real, disclosed spread reflecting a smaller market's thin sales volume (base record).
Property tax: a disclosed Wyandotte County proxy, not a confirmed city rate
A Bonner-Springs-specific effective property tax rate was not found with confidence this pass. This record uses Wyandotte County's own 1.44% Ownwell median effective rate as a proxy, producing a $2,682 county median annual bill -- though the separately cited Kansas City, KS-specific rate runs higher (1.69%), and Bonner Springs's own multi-county footprint (Wyandotte/Leavenworth/Johnson) means the actual rate can differ by address (base record).
Kansas's 5.20%/5.58% income tax and Social Security exemption
Kansas's real, current two-bracket individual income tax (5.20% up to $23,000/$46,000, 5.58% above) and full Social Security exemption for all residents apply in Bonner Springs as they do statewide (base record).
Elevated statewide homeowners insurance applies
No Bonner-Springs-specific insurance premium figure was found this pass; Kansas's own statewide range runs approximately $3,714-$5,455/year, driven by the state's severe tornado and hail exposure (base record).
