Good to know

Before you buy in Kansas City, Kansas

Local rules and costs that change a deal's numbers or closing date in Kansas City, Kansas and Wyandotte County. Sources are listed at the bottom of the page.
  • Get a Unified Government rental license before leasing: all landlords of residential rental property must hold one, and every license expires April 30 each year, so time renewals into your hold.
  • Pull the FEMA flood map for Armourdale, Argentine and other Kansas River valley addresses: floodwaters topped the levees there in 1951, and a mapped flood zone can bring a flood insurance requirement from your lender.
  • Kansas bills property tax on 11.5% of appraised value for homes and 12% for vacant lots, so check the current levy for the specific address.
  • Valuation notices go out by March 1 with a 30-day appeal window, which matters if the county's value sits well above what you paid for a distressed house.
