Kansas association records requests
In Kansas the owner gives at least 10 days' written notice naming the specific records, and the association makes them available during reasonable business hours or at a mutually convenient time. That is a notice period, not an association response deadline. The section sets no penalty of its own.

How HOAChime handles Kansas requests
HOAChime sets the clock automatically from each association's state and type, counts the 10-day notice period with Kansas holidays, and sends reminder emails. A due-soon and overdue list covers every association. You can mark records withheld with the state's reason, find and black out Social Security, card, bank, licence, phone and email numbers before release, track charges as quoted, paid or waived, and keep a full history of each request.
