Kansas taxes property at about 1.25% of value against 0.89% nationally. On a $239,000 home that is $72 a month more than the same house would cost in taxes at the national rate. Rates are set by counties, cities and school districts, so your own bill will differ from the state median — put your actual figure in the property tax field and the payment updates.

Tax and home value figures: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2024 1-year estimates. Insurance is estimated at 0.35% of home value per year — there is no comparable public per-state dataset, so treat it as a placeholder and replace it with your own quote. The interest rate is the national Freddie Mac 30-year average of 6.58%; this site does not publish state-level rate quotes.

Refinancing in Kansas

The arithmetic is the same everywhere: refinancing pays off when the monthly saving clears the closing costs before you sell or refinance again. What differs by state is the cost of getting there — recording fees, transfer and mortgage taxes, and whether an existing tax assessment survives the new loan.

Kansas home loans in detail

Kansas Mortgage Overview

Kansas has a population of 2.9 million people. It's the 'Breadbasket' of our country because it grows 20 percent of the wheat for the United States.

Kansas is a beautiful state with a stable climate and many amazing areas to live. The average home price is $300,000 and 66 percent of the homes owned in Kansas are by owner-occupied residents.

If you're thinking of moving to Kansas, here are the top mortgage options for homebuyers:

Kansas FHA loans

Borrowers don't need perfect credit for a Kansas FHA loan. All you need is a 580 credit score and a 3.5 percent down payment. If you have a 500 - 579 score, you may still be eligible, but with a 10 percent down payment. FHA loans have flexible guidelines and make it easy for borrowers who will live in the property to get financing.

Kansas VA loans

Military veterans and current members with at least 181 days served may get a VA loan with no down payment. You need just a 620 credit score and proof you make enough money to cover your debts and the daily cost of living. VA loans don't require mortgage insurance and have low interest rates.

Kansas USDA loans

If your household income is less than 115 percent of the income for the area, you may qualify for a USDA loan. You'll have to live in a rural area, but the USDA classifies any low populated area as rural, not just areas in 'wide open fields.' USDA loans don't require a down payment, but you need a 640 credit score to qualify.

Kansas conventional loans

Borrowers with great credit and stable income may qualify for a Kansas conventional loan. These loans aren't government-backed, but they have some of the best terms available. You need at least a 660 credit score and a max 40 percent debt ratio to qualify.

Kansas mortgage FAQ

How much is property tax on a home in Kansas?
Kansas homeowners pay an effective property tax rate of about 1.25 percent of home value — the 10th highest of the 50 states and DC. On the state's median home value of $238,700 that works out to roughly $2,988 a year, or $249 a month added to the mortgage payment. The figures come from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey 2024 1-year estimates; your own bill depends on the county and city rates where the home sits.
What is the monthly payment on a median-priced Kansas home?
At $239,000 with 20 percent down and the current 6.58 percent national 30-year fixed average, principal and interest come to about $1,219 a month. Adding Kansas property tax of roughly $249 a month and an estimated $70 of homeowner insurance brings the full payment to around $1,537.
What mortgage choices do Kansas homebuyers have?
Kansas buyers can choose FHA loans with a 580 credit score and 3.5 percent down (or 10 percent down for scores of 500 to 579), VA loans with no down payment for those with 181 days of service and a 620 score, USDA loans with zero down and a 640 score for incomes under 115 percent of the area, and conventional loans requiring a 660 score and a maximum 40 percent debt ratio.
What first-time buyer programs are available in Kansas?
The Kansas First-Time Homebuyer Program provides 15 to 20 percent of the sales price as a forgivable second mortgage for buyers earning 80 percent or less of the area median income, and the loan is forgiven if you stay in the home for 10 years. Local options include the Leavenworth Home Ownership Program grant and the Topeka Opportunity to Own Program for low income buyers.
Is a zero down mortgage possible in Kansas?
Yes, in two ways. VA loans require no down payment for veterans and current members with at least 181 days of service, a 620 credit score, and income that covers your debts and daily living costs. USDA loans also require nothing down for buyers with a 640 score in qualifying areas whose household income is below 115 percent of the area figure.
