Kansas Real Estate FAQ
What should I know about buying property in Kansas?
When buying property, it's important to understand the local market, property taxes, and any zoning laws that may affect the property. Consider hiring a real estate agent to guide you and ensure you're aware of all closing costs, inspections, and necessary paperwork.
What are some common real estate laws in Kansas to be aware of?
Kansas follows “caveat emptor,” or “buyer beware,” meaning sellers aren’t required to disclose every issue with a property. However, certain material defects must be disclosed. Additionally, the state requires all real estate transactions to involve a title insurance policy to protect against ownership disputes.
What should I know about property taxes in Kansas?
Property taxes in Kansas are calculated based on the assessed value of your property at 11.5% of fair market value for residential properties. Rates vary by county, so check local tax rates. Taxes are typically due in two installments – in December and May.
Do Kansas homebuyers need to purchase title insurance?
Yes, Kansas law requires a title insurance policy for any property purchase. This protects buyers and lenders from potential title disputes, such as unpaid taxes, liens, or ownership claims.
How do I know if my property is in a floodplain?
You can check floodplain status through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps. Properties in flood zones may require additional insurance
Are there specific rules regarding rural properties in Kansas?
Rural properties may have unique considerations, like water rights, agricultural zoning, and septic systems. If you’re buying rural land, consult with an agent familiar with these specifics to ensure the property meets your needs.
What is earnest money and how does it work in Kansas real estate?
Earnest money is a deposit made by the buyer to show their commitment to the transaction. This amount is held in escrow and applied to the purchase once the sale is finalized. If the deal falls through due to the buyer, the seller may be entitled to keep the earnest money.
What are property disclosure requirements for Kansas sellers?
While Kansas is a “buyer beware” state, sellers are required to disclose significant defects or hazards that could affect the property’s value or safety. This typically includes structural issues, pest infestations, and environmental concerns.

Our Manhattan real estate lawyers are equipped to prepare and review documents relating to real estate, such as purchase agreements, mortgage documents, title documents, and transfer documents.

If the purchase is being financed, our lawyers will prepare paperwork such as the federal HUD-1 Form and related transfer of funds documentation for the buyer’s lender. In the case of a real estate dispute, such as chain of title, lot line problems, or other issues involving contracts, our lawyer will resolve the problem.
Our firm can also provide legal representation for either a buyer or a seller when a dispute winds up in a courtroom.
