Kansas State FAQs

Is Kansas a judicial or non-judicial state?

Judicial

In a judicial foreclosure state, the lender must go through the court system in order to foreclose on a property. This process can be longer and more expensive for the lender compared to a non-judicial foreclosure.

As a real estate investor, it is important to understand the differences between judicial and non-judicial states because it can affect the amount of time and money it takes to foreclose on a property. It can also impact the availability of properties that are being foreclosed on and the process of purchasing those properties.

What is the process of closing on a property in Kansas?

Title companies, lenders, real estate agents, attorneys, and independent escrow firms all conduct closings. Anyone who conducts a title search must be a licensed abstracter, a designation one receives after passing strict tests and meeting various requirements. Because many land titles stem from Indian origins, deeds involving Indians as parties to a transaction go before the Indian Commission for approval. Conveyance is by warranty deed. Mortgages are the customary security instruments. Judicial foreclosures, the only ones allowed, take about 6 months from filing to sale. Redemption periods vary, the longest being 12 months. Kansans use ALTA policies and endorsements. Buyers and sellers divide closing costs. Buyers pay the lender’s policy costs and the state mortgage taxes; sellers pay for the owner’s policy. Property taxes come due November 1st, but they needn’t be paid in a lump sum until December 31st. They may also be paid in two installments, the first on December 20th and the second on June 20th.

In Kansas, does a property management company require a real estate broker's license?

IT DEPENDS. Key components of property management (renting and leasing) are considered real estate activities under existing Kansas real estate licensing laws as they apply to nonresidential property only. Therefore, a real estate broker's license is not required if the property being rented out or leased is a residential property. A license is required if the property is commercial. A salesperson working under a broker may engage in such activities.

Are there any exceptions to the requirement that a property manager have a broker's license in Kansas?

YES. For example, if that property manager owns 5% or greater in the business or association that owns the commercial property, a real estate broker's license is not required. For more information about these and other Kansas property management requirements and exceptions, please contact the Kansas Real Estate Commission. Before hiring a property manager to manage your Kansas rental property, you should always check that he or she is licensed appropriately.
