Kansas protects a few owner displays from HOA bans. Under K.S.A. 58-4617 an association may not prohibit the U.S. flag (rules must follow federal law), the Kansas flag, or candidate and ballot-question signs, and owners may peacefully assemble on common elements. K.S.A. 58-3820 voids covenants banning small political yard signs. Kansas has no solar-protection statute.
KUCIOBORA's rules section, K.S.A. 58-4617, limits what an association can forbid: 'A rule regulating display of the flag of the United States must be consistent with federal law,' and the association 'may not prohibit display... of the flag of this state, or signs regarding candidates for public or association office or ballot questions.' It may still set reasonable time, place, size, number, and manner rules, and owners 'may peacefully assemble on the common elements.' Separately, K.S.A. 58-3820 voids any covenant prohibiting political yard signs under six square feet during roughly 45 days before through 2 days after an election. Solar is the gap: Kansas has no statute voiding HOA bans on rooftop solar — bills to create one (SB 506 in 2024, SB 144 in 2025-26) both died in committee.
A rule banning the U.S. or Kansas flag, candidate/ballot-question signs, or peaceful assembly conflicts with K.S.A. 58-4617 and is unenforceable; a covenant banning a small political yard sign is void under K.S.A. 58-3820. No statutory remedy exists for an HOA's solar ban.
