SB 112 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Prohibiting cities and counties from requiring land as part of a right-of-way as a condition for issuing a building permit unless the property owner consents and is paid fair compensation.

SB 112 prohibits cities and counties in Kansas from demanding property owners give up land for public access (right-of-way) as a condition for approving building permits unless the owner agrees and receives fair payment. This directly affects property owners who might otherwise be forced to surrender land for permits without consent or compensation. The bill requires local governments to obtain explicit consent and pay fair market value for any right-of-way grant, while allowing exceptions when multiple adjacent owners must collectively provide land for public street improvements. The law takes effect immediately upon publication in state statutes.
