Properties and Structures for Sale
Property Sales
KDOT’s Right of Way Inventory and Disposal (RID) section handles the disposal of land that the agency no longer needs.
Freestanding tracts are those that can be built on or used as separate parcels and are sold by auction or sealed bid. Non-freestanding tracts are sold to neighboring landowners.
KDOT has no properties currently for sale. When properties do become available, they will be listed here.

Structure Sales
When KDOT buys structures like houses or outbuildings for highway projects, the original landowner might have the option to keep and remove the structure. If they choose not to, KDOT’s Property Management Section can sell the structure to the public. These sales can happen through sealed bids, on-site auctions, or off-site auctions, with on-site auctions being the preferred method.
Auction notices are published in the Kansas Register and local newspapers.
KDOT has no structures currently available for auction. When structures do become available, they will be listed here.
If you want to be notified by mail about upcoming auctions, send your name, mailing address, daytime phone number, and the KDOT districts you're interested in to our property management team.
About a week before an auction, the structure(s) will be open for public inspection, with an agent available to answer questions. They will also be available for inspection about 30 minutes before the auction starts.
Full payment is due on the day of the sale by cashier's check. Arrangements will be made at the end of the sale for the successful bidder to get the cashier's check. Once received, KDOT will provide a bill of sale.
KDOT has general requirements for the removal of structures. Specific requirements are determined on a case-by-case basis and are usually available three weeks before the auction and will also be available during the inspection and auction.
