Kansas City KS Master Plumbing Contractor Bond
What it is & who requires it
Master plumbing contractors licensed by the Unified Government to work in Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas. This is the third of the three parallel chapter 8 trade bonds and it behaves exactly like the other two — same sum, separate article, separate credential. A plumbing firm that also holds the mechanical license posts both. Worth noting for anyone comparing this with the wider metropolitan area: the Unified Government bonds plumbers where Johnson County, immediately to the south, licenses plumbers as a Class DP contractor and requires insurance rather than a bond.
Obligee: Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas. Citation: Unified Government Code of Ordinances § 8-382 (master plumbing contractor; surety bond), ch. 8 art. — plumbing.

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. A surety bond at a fixed sum with no non-surety substitute offered anywhere in the article, which is why the amount publishes. The condition is compliance with the plumbing article and a hold-harmless to the unified government. Do not confuse this license bond with the separate right-of-way instrument the same code imposes at § 32-29 on anyone cutting or occupying a public street — plumbing work in the right-of-way can trigger both, and the § 32-29 obligation is sized to the restoration rather than set at a sum.
