While contractor license bonds are not required at the state level, a number of local jurisdictions in Kansas do have their own licensing and bonding rules.
Kansas’s “Little Miller Act” requires performance bonds and payment bonds for state-funded construction projects valued above $100,000. Technically, private construction projects in Kansas are also subject to the bonding requirements of the state’s Little Miller Act, though in practice, this often is regarded as optional. Additionally, both government and private project owners may require bid bonds when contracts are awarded through competitive bidding.
Other construction bonds that may be required by both public and private project owners include:
- Maintenance bonds
- Subdivision/site improvement bonds
- Supply bonds
- Solar decommissioning bonds
- Right of Way bonds
- Contractor license bonds
