review_type | override | tribal_or_bia_jurisdiction | State and local zoning generally does not apply on Indian trust land or reservation territory; jurisdiction rests with the tribe and/or the Bureau of Indian Affairs under federal law (25 U.S.C. §§ et seq., Indian Reorganization Act, and case law including Montana v. United States). |
base_districts[*].state_local_zoning_applicability | waive | — | On trust land, the county/city zoning ordinance does not run; on fee land within reservation boundaries (checkerboard), state/local jurisdiction may apply but is subject to the Montana exceptions for tribal regulation. |

Research notes
Four federally recognized tribes have land in Kansas: Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation (Jackson County); Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas (Brown County); Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska (Brown / Doniphan / Richardson NE counties); Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska (Brown / Richardson NE counties). Treat the listed reservations as federal-jurisdiction overlays — state-level overlays.json captures the framing only; parcel-level adjudication of jurisdiction requires deed-trail and BIA confirmation. Federal conflict check is intrinsic to the overlay.
