Under K.S.A. 60-2410 et seq., Kansas provides a statutory right of redemption after a sheriff's sale of up to 12 months for occupied, non-abandoned properties. During this period, the borrower can reclaim the property by paying the full amount of the debt, interest, and costs. This is one of the longest redemption periods in the nation and is a key Kansas-specific rule.
