Wyandotte County Streamlines STR Process

2/11/2026

Wyandotte County, Kansas, has updated its short-term rental rules to simplify licensing and increase penalties during major events like the World Cup. Homeowners can now submit a completed application and third-party inspection, with county staff required to approve or deny it within three business days; if the deadline is missed, the license is automatically approved. The ordinance applies to events lasting under 90 days with insufficient hotel capacity, announced at least two weeks in advance.
