Home styles and property types

The median value of owner-occupied homes in the tract is $676,400, with a wide margin of error ($130,974) because the tract has fewer owner-occupied homes to sample.

Homes association and club membership
The club and the homes associations are separate organizations with separate dues.
The LionsGate homes association has a resident website on eNeighbors. It names FirstService Residential as the association’s management company and posts the association’s architectural handbook and roof replacement guide, both dated July 28, 2026. A separate association, the Links at LionsGate, has its own eNeighbors site, which names CAM KC as its manager and posts declarations for the Links at LionsGate and the Club Villas at LionsGate.
Neither site publishes dues. Check which association covers a specific home: ask the seller or the management company for the association’s declaration, bylaws, current dues, any transfer fee and what the association maintains, and read the covenants listed in the title commitment.

Property taxes
Kansas taxes residential property at 11.5% of its appraised value. The assessed value is then multiplied by the mill levy, where one mill is $1 of tax per $1,000 of assessed value.
For 2025, the total levy for Overland Park in Blue Valley USD 229 is 104.463 mills:
| Taxing unit | Mills (2025) |
|---|---|
| Blue Valley USD 229 (including the 20-mill statewide school levy) | 53.618 |
| Johnson County | 17.290 |
| City of Overland Park | 14.540 |
| Johnson County Community College | 7.873 |
| Johnson County Library | 3.817 |
| Johnson County Park and Recreation | 3.023 |
| Blue Valley Recreation | 2.802 |
| State of Kansas | 1.500 |
As an example, a home appraised at $600,000 has an assessed value of $69,000, and 104.463 mills on that comes to about $7,208 a year before any exemptions or special assessments.
The Johnson County Appraiser mails notices of appraised value on or before March 1. An informal appeal must be filed within 30 days of the mailing date (K.S.A. 79-1448), and you can also appeal by paying under protest when the tax is due.
