In Sedgwick County, Kansas, short-term rentals (often referred to as STRs) are not permitted in unincorporated areas but are legal within the residential limits of Wichita. The Wichita City Council has established a regulatory framework requiring STR owners to obtain an annual license, which became mandatory after changes approved on September 12, 2023. Properties that thrive as STRs in this area typically include single-family homes, duplexes, and multi-family units, catering primarily to both tourists and business travelers, particularly those attending local events or visiting for work. STR owners must comply with safety regulations, occupancy limits of two adults per bedroom plus two additional adults, and maintain liability insurance. The primary government authority overseeing these regulations is the Wichita-Sedgwick County Planning Department, which ensures compliance with the Unified Zoning Code and other municipal codes. For more information, you can visit the official sites for the City of Wichita Short-Term Rentals and the Wichita-Sedgwick County Planning Department.
