Lodging Inspection Program
Thousands of people travel throughout Kansas each year for business and pleasure. Many of these trips require overnight or extended stays away from home. The Kansas Department of Agriculture is committed to ensuring that all lodging establishments in Kansas are safe and sanitary.
The Division of Food Safety and Lodging is responsible for licensing, monitoring and inspecting more than 800 lodging establishments each year. Lodging Regulations govern hotels, motels, boarding houses (bed and breakfast homes), lodges and rooming houses. They require that acceptable sanitation levels are maintained to minimize health and safety hazards that could lead to illness or injury.
Lodging standards address facility plans and physical specifications; food service; guest safety; disaster planning; personnel health; guest room sanitation; housekeeping and laundry facilities; indoor and outdoor public areas; swimming and hot tub safety and sanitation; and water, sewage, electrical, plumbing and heating systems.
