Student Loan Repayment
Rural Opportunity Zone
DID YOU KNOW?
There are financial incentives available for new residents in WASHINGTON COUNTY, including both student loan repayment assistance and a state income tax credit. There may be a waitlist for the county-sponsored student loan repayment program, so we encourage interested residents to inquire early. Eligible residents can receive up to $3,000 per year for five years (totaling $15,000) to help reduce student loan debt. Additionally, residents can enjoy a 100% tax credit on their Kansas income tax liability through 2026, making it easy to claim this waiver when filing annual taxes. This program is administered through the Kansas Department of Revenue. Both programs are funded by the Kansas Department of Commerce.
Washington County Neighborhood Revitalization Program
The current plan was put into place to further assist in the revitalization of certain designated areas within Washington County via tax rebate incentives and abatements.
