What Is the Penalty for Theft in Kansas?

In Kansas, the penalties for theft depend on the value of the property stolen and the circumstances surrounding the offense.

Petit theft, which involves property valued at less than $1,000, is typically considered a Class A misdemeanor. The maximum penalty for a Class A misdemeanor in Kansas is up to 12 months in jail and a fine of up to $2,500.

Grand theft, which involves property valued at $1,000 or more, is considered a felony offense. The severity of the felony and the corresponding penalties depend on the value of the property stolen:

Theft of property valued at $1,000-$24,999 is a level 9 felony, which can carry a sentence of up to 17 months in prison and fines of up to $100,000.
Theft of property valued at $25,000 to less than $100,000 is a level 7 felony, which can carry a sentence of up to 34 months in prison and fines of up to $100,000.
Theft of property valued at $100,000 or more is level 5 felony, which is punishable by imprisonment for up to 136 months and fines of up to $300,000

In addition to these penalties, a conviction for theft in Kansas can also result in a criminal record, which can have long-term consequences for employment, housing, and other areas of life.
