Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an action in mandamus brought by the Tri-County Public Airport Authority against the Board of County Commissioners of Morris County to determine the tax-exempt status of certain real property owned by the plaintiff and for recovery of real estate taxes paid on the land for the years 1977 through 1980. The facts are not in dispute and essentially are as follows: The city of Herington acquired 1,720.5 acres of real estate on September 24, 1948, by a deed from the United States government. The United States previously had used the land during World War II as the Delevan Army Air Base. On December 4, 1979, the city of Herington conveyed the land to the Tri-County Public Airport Authority (Tri-County). The taxes for 1977-78 were paid by the city but not under protest. The 1980 property taxes were not due and had not been paid at the time of the filing of the action on July 18, 1980. Tri-County was created by the city of Herington to operate an airport and came into existence on July [233 Kan. 961]
