Free Kansas Odometer Disclosure Bill of Sale
Kansas runs the federal mileage certification through the county treasurer's counter: the seller certifies under 49 U.S.C. § 32705, with coverage reaching model year 2011-and-newer vehicles until their 20th model year (2010-and-older and 16,000-lb-plus GVWR are exempt). Kansas places the odometer disclosure on the Certificate of Title; both the seller and buyer complete and sign the odometer section before the title is submitted to a county treasurer's office or tag office.

Odometer disclosure is a federal requirement under 49 CFR §580, not just a best practice — and falsifying mileage is a federal crime. Our guide explains exactly what each field requires, when the 10-year exemption applies, and what to do if the odometer has rolled over.

Kansas Odometer Disclosure Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Verify the disclosure applies: the vehicle is model year 2011 or newer and 16,000 lbs GVWR or under — older models are exempt.
- Record the exact odometer reading on the day of the transaction.
- Mark the truthful status on the Kansas title — real reading, rolled-over instrument, or known discrepancy.
- The seller's printed name, signature, and date complete their half of the disclosure.
- The buyer acknowledges with their own printed name and signature.
- Both parties keep photocopies of the signed title before submitting.
- Submit the title to the county treasurer's office; Kansas charges a 6.5% sales tax on the vehicle purchase price.
Common Pitfalls
- An 'as-is' sale does not remove the seller's obligation to make a complete and accurate odometer disclosure under federal TIMA.
- Failing to select a certification type; leaving the odometer section blank results in rejection at the county treasurer's office.
- Confusing age with the model-year test: the exemption follows model year (2010 and older exempt; 2011+ covered to 20 model years), not a count of birthdays.
- Kansas local sales taxes can add up to 3% on top of the 6.5% state rate in some jurisdictions; confirm the total tax with the county office.
- Making any alteration to the Kansas title — altered titles must be replaced before transfer can proceed.
Kansas Odometer Disclosure Bill of Sale — FAQs
Is odometer disclosure required for a 2001 model-year vehicle in Kansas in 2026?
No — everything model year 2010 and older sits outside the federal requirement, so a 2001 vehicle needs no disclosure. Sellers may still provide it voluntarily for buyer confidence.
What should I select if the odometer was replaced but I don't know the original mileage?
Select 'Not actual mileage' and note in the bill of sale that the odometer was replaced and the total accumulated miles are unknown.
Does Kansas have a separate odometer disclosure form for private sellers?
No. The odometer disclosure is built into the Kansas Certificate of Title. Both parties complete the title's odometer section — no separate state form is required.
What are the penalties for odometer fraud in Kansas?
Kansas buyers lean on the federal remedies: three-year/$10,000 criminal exposure per violation, and a § 32710 civil claim worth triple damages (minimum $1,500) plus fees.
