KS HB2343

No-impact home-based businesses shall be a permitted use in residential dwellings, superseding deed restrictions and HOA covenants entered into on or after July 1, 2025, unless the HOA has a clear, directly applicable restriction and the business is likely non-compliant with the act's requirements.

Municipalities cannot prohibit these businesses or require permits, licenses, variances, rezoning for commercial use, fire sprinkler installation, or fire/building inspections beyond what applies to similar residences.

Qualifying businesses must stay within occupancy limits, sell only lawful goods/services, avoid generating street parking or substantial traffic increases, operate inside the dwelling or private premises, and remain not visible from the street.

Rural no-impact home-based businesses (outside city limits or on premises exceeding 1 acre) receive additional regulatory protection, with municipalities required to favor less regulation based on factors like isolation and property size.

Prohibited activities include selling illegal drugs or liquor, operating sober living homes, and adult-oriented businesses; municipalities bear the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that any regulation complies with the act.
