Industry incumbents (HomeWiseDocs, CondoCerts) charge residents $250–$400 per resale certificate.
Kansas does not cap RC preparation fees by statute. With CommunityPay, the board issues the certificate directly from live ledger data — eliminating the third-party fee entirely. Residents typically save $250–$400 per closing.

Kansas Apartment Ownership Act
Kansas Apartment Ownership Act governing condominium property. Separate from the Bill of Rights Act, this 1963 statute establishes the legal framework for condominium creation, ownership, and assessment liens.
Apartment Ownership Act — Priority of Liens
Unpaid common expense assessments constitute a statutory lien on the apartment. The lien is subordinate to tax liens and first mortgages of record. Kansas is NOT a super-lien state. Foreclosure is judicial, in like manner as a mortgage of real property. First mortgage foreclosure purchasers are not liable for pre-acquisition assessments; those amounts become common expenses collectible from all owners.
Apartment Ownership Act — Joint and Several Liability
In voluntary conveyance of a condominium, the grantee is jointly and severally liable with the grantor for unpaid common expense assessments. The grantee is entitled to a statement from the manager or board setting forth unpaid amounts and is not liable for assessments exceeding the stated amount. This payoff statement right is the closest Kansas analog to a resale certificate. No statutory fee cap or delivery deadline.
Townhouse Ownership Act — Common Expenses; Liens
