Prairie Village Building Permit Performance Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors taking a Prairie Village building permit on a significant construction project, which the code defines as a project exceeding a stated cost threshold. What this bond secures is narrower and more specific than its name suggests, and it is worth reading before assuming it is a completion guarantee: the permit applicant is a guarantor that the streets and sidewalks around the work stay free and clear of dirt, mud, gravel and other debris, and the building official gives notice when they do not. Individual homeowners filing permits for minor buildings, structures or additions are treated separately — for them the building official and the public works director decide case by case whether any bond is needed.
Obligee: City of Prairie Village (Building Official; Public Works Director). Citation: Prairie Village Municipal Code ch. IV (Buildings and Construction), § 105.3.1 (Performance Bonds), building code amendments.

Term & renewal
Term: Taken at the time the building permit issues and held against the condition of the adjacent streets and sidewalks during the work.
Renewal: Per permit.
Filing
Filed at permit issuance and approved by the building official. The bond must be issued by a surety company licensed and qualified to operate in Kansas and approved by the city with a duly appointed agent, so the instrument is unambiguously a surety bond — but no amount is published on this record because the requirement itself is discretionary in both directions. On significant projects the building official MAY require the bond rather than must; on homeowner permits the officials determine whether a bond is required and set the amount subject to a cap. A figure that only sometimes applies, and that an official may set anywhere below a ceiling, is not a penal sum a buyer can rely on in advance.
