Kansas City KS Awning Erector Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors erecting awnings that project over a public street in Kansas City, Kansas. The trigger is the projection over public property rather than the awning itself — an awning wholly on private ground does not reach this section. This is a small and easily missed obligation that sits in the streets chapter rather than with the building trades, so a contractor searching the licensing article alone will not find it.
Obligee: Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas. Citation: Unified Government Code of Ordinances § 19-21 (awnings over public streets; bond), ch. 19 — streets and sidewalks.

Term & renewal
Term: Held against the erection and maintenance of an awning projecting over a public street.
Renewal: Maintained while the awning remains over the public way.
Filing
Filed with the unified government. The section states a fixed sum and offers no cash or deposit alternative. Like the building-mover bond in the same code it does not name a surety company expressly, so the instrument reads as a surety bond because nothing else is offered rather than because the words say so — confirm the accepted form with the office. Note that this obligation can sit alongside the sign installer bond where a projecting sign and an awning are part of the same storefront job; they are separate sections and separate filings.
