Wichita STR rules require hosts to display their city business license number on every public listing. Platforms cooperating with the city remove unlicensed Wichita listings on request.
Under Wichita Code Chapter 11, every public-facing listing on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, or similar platforms must display the host current Wichita STR business license number. The Office of the City Treasurer monitors listings and issues notices to platforms when an unlicensed Wichita address appears. While Kansas has no statewide platform-accountability statute like California AB 5, major platforms generally honor takedown requests from cooperating cities. Hosts who hide or fabricate license numbers face license revocation and fines, and the platform itself may delist the host if Wichita issues repeated complaints.
Listing without a visible valid license number, posting another property license, or refusing to remove a listing after a city takedown notice can result in 500-dollar daily fines and license revocation.
