Tips for Wichita Buyers and Sellers
- Bring the signed title — with the price, date of sale and odometer reading filled in on the back — to the Sedgwick County Treasurer on 525 N Main; they handle everything in one visit.
- Ask the seller for a copy of their most recent personal property tax receipt to confirm the vehicle is current on taxes.
- Complete the odometer disclosure section on the back of the Kansas title — it is legally required for vehicles of model year 2011 or newer.
- If the seller has a lien on the vehicle, confirm the lienholder has issued a lien release before finalizing the sale.
- Keep the bill of sale as proof of purchase date to avoid being charged personal property tax for months you did not own the vehicle.
