Kansas City KS Master Mechanic Contractor Bond
What it is & who requires it
Master mechanic contractors licensed by the Unified Government — heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration work in Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas. The sum matches the electrical and plumbing bonds, which is why these three lines are so often collapsed into one on a carrier list, but the credential is separate and so is the filing: a firm holding two of the three trades files two bonds. Across the county line the same trade is licensed by Johnson County and carries no bond, so a mechanical contractor working the metropolitan area needs this filing only on the Wyandotte side.
Obligee: Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas. Citation: Unified Government Code of Ordinances § 8-319 (master mechanic contractor; surety bond), ch. 8 art. — mechanical.

Term & renewal
Term: Held with the unified government for as long as the license is held, rather than posted per permit.
Renewal: Maintained alongside the license; the bond is a standing condition of holding the credential.
Filing
Posted with the unified government and approved as to form by it. The ordinance names a surety bond at a fixed amount with no cash, deposit or letter-of-credit alternative, so the figure is a penal sum rather than a floor. Read the credential carefully rather than the trade name — this bond attaches to the master mechanic contractor license specifically, and journeyman or apprentice registrations under the same article do not carry it. The instrument is one of three parallel trade bonds in chapter 8, each in its own article at the same sum; they are not interchangeable.
