review_typeoverridetribal_or_bia_jurisdictionState 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.

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.
