Book excerpt: Because the Kansas Constitution does not define the term "merchants' and manufacturers' inventory" for purposes of the property tax exemption in article 11, section 1, it is appropriate to rely on common understanding of the terms at the time the constitutional provision was adopted, and the statutory definitions contained in K.S.A. 1988 Supp. 79-201m. The scope of these definitions does not include real estate, such as houses constructed on-site for later sale. Therefore, such property is not eligible for the merchants' and manufacturers' inventory exemption from property tax under article 11, section 1. Cited herein: K.S.A. 79-102; K.S.A. 1988 Supp. 79-201m, as amended by L. 1989, ch. 289, section 1; Kan. Const., Art. 11, section 1.
