What the county figure means here.
A borrower with full VA entitlement does not have a VA loan limit, subject to lender approval, ability to repay, and the appraised value or purchase price. The FHFA one-unit county conforming loan limit matters primarily when calculating remaining bonus entitlement for a borrower who does not have full entitlement, and it may affect whether a down payment is required.
Sedgwick County carries a $832,750 one-unit conforming loan limit value for 2026, and that is the county figure we reference for Wichita. County reference, not an address-based lookup. Confirm the county of the property before using this value; city and metro boundaries can cross counties. Whichever county your property is in, the value is used in remaining-entitlement calculations — including on a 2–4 unit property — and is not a cap on what a fully-entitled buyer can finance.

Estimate a payment with your own rate assumptionWichita special assessments: improvement districts can add costs to a property's tax bill
The City of Wichita's Finance FAQ explains that a subdivision developer or neighborhood owners may petition the City for improvements such as water lines, sewer lines or paved streets. Owners within the improvement district then pay for the project through a special assessment charged to the property. Sidewalks and weed mowing may also be assessed.
An improvement district is a group of lots designated to share a project's cost. Practical step: newer Wichita subdivisions in particular may carry these charges. Before closing, ask the City's special assessment staff whether the parcel has any outstanding balance and how long it runs, rather than estimating from a neighbor's bill.
Sedgwick County Clerk: the state homestead refunds, including one for disabled veterans
The Sedgwick County Clerk explains three Kansas refund programs filed at its office: Homestead, Safe Senior and the Senior and Disabled Veterans Property Tax Refund. The veterans' program requires the applicant to be 65 or older, at least 50% permanently disabled, and below published income and home-value limits. Applicants may file for only one of the three programs.
These are refunds of taxes already paid, based on the claimant's own household income, so a buyer cannot inherit a seller's refund. Practical step: the Clerk notes any required state or federal income tax return must be filed first. Check the current year's limits on the Clerk's page before applying. The Clerk adds that the Homestead refund is capped at $700, is not available to renters, and can be filed at 100 N. Broadway, Suite 620.
