Kansas Seller's Disclosure of Property Condition
Kansas requires sellers to complete this form for most residential transactions. Disclose all known material defects including structural, mechanical, environmental, and legal conditions.
Key disclosure areas
Roof and Hail Damage in Wichita
Wichita is in Tornado Alley — hail damage to roofs is extremely common. If your roof has had hail damage (repaired or unrepaired), disclose it. Insurance claim history is discoverable by buyers through CLUE reports. Buyers routinely include roof inspection contingencies. If you've had a roof insurance claim, document the repair and have documentation ready.
Basement and Wind/Storm Shelter
Wichita buyers often ask about storm shelter or safe room presence — a significant selling point. If your home has one, highlight it in your listing. If storm damage has occurred to the structure, disclose it.
No Transfer Tax
Kansas has no real estate transfer tax. Closing costs are minimal — title insurance, recording fees, and property tax proration.
