INTRODUCTION
Doing business as a vehicle, manufactured home dealer or salesperson in the state of Kansas requires a license issued by Kansas Department of Revenue, Dealer Licensing.
A vehicle dealer constitutes a person who purchases a vehicle with the intent to sell for a profit, or sells 5 or more vehicles within a calendar year.
In this Dealer Handbook you will find complete instructions and licensing requirements for Kansas Vehicle and Manufactured Home Dealers and Salespersons, as well as forms necessary for your business operations.
We hope this will be a valuable source of information for those licensed to manufacture, distribute, or sell vehicles or manufactured homes in the state of Kansas, as well as for those involved in the enforcement of these regulations.

In October 1995, the Dealer Licensing computerized the licensing process and implemented a Filenet Imaging system that stores imaged documents by folder ID. In April 2007 the Dealer Licensing implemented a web-based application. This system automatically issues a folder ID when the original application is received and entered into the system. When the license number is ready to be issued, a dealer number is given corresponding with the range of numbers that identifies the type of license issued. The dealer number can change depending on the license type.
LICENSE REQUIREMENTS All statutory and business requirements must be met prior to the issuance of a license. There are two field investigators that make routine inspections to ensure requirements are maintained. During these inspections, they also provide training and answer any questions the dealer may have. If requirements are not met the field investigators may issue a civil penalty. The dealer may elect to contest the penalty and request a hearing. Hearings may result in the suspension, revocation, and/or a civil penalty.
