Kan. Stat. § 12-1810

The city clerk shall mail a notice not less than fifteen days prior to the end of the thirty days to the owner of the property as shown on the records of the office of the register of deeds, but failure of the owner to receive the notice shall not affect the validity of the assessment. Any suit challenging the validity of the proceedings or the amount of the assessment must be filed within thirty days after the publication of the assessment ordinance.
