Kansas FSBO Disclosure Requirements (2026)

Kansas Disclosure Law

KSA §58-30,106 requires residential property sellers to provide a written disclosure statement to buyers before or at the time of signing a purchase contract.

What Must Be Disclosed

Roof condition and age; any known leaks or hail damage

Foundation or structural problems

Basement water intrusion

HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems

Well and septic condition (common in rural Kansas)

Any known environmental hazards

Encroachments, easements, or boundary disputes

Pending assessments or HOA obligations

Hail and Wind Damage

Kansas is in Tornado Alley. Sellers must disclose any known storm damage, including roof hail damage and any related insurance claims. Buyers often request a 5-year insurance claims history (CLUE report). An undisclosed claim can unravel a deal at the insurance stage.

Exemptions

New construction, foreclosure sales, estate transfers, and court-ordered conveyances are exempt from the disclosure requirement.

Penalties

Under Kansas law, knowingly omitting a material defect exposes sellers to fraud liability. Buyers may rescind the contract or seek damages equal to the cost of undisclosed repairs.
