Kansas Surety Bonds

Kansas Construction & Contractor Bonds

The state of Kansas requires the purchase of a Contractor bond, also known as a Kansas Construction bond, by contractors bidding on or being awarded a contract for a public works project funded by taxpayer dollars. Certain municipalities and counties also require such bonds from contractors involved in local public works projects. The most commonly required contractor/construction bonds are bid bonds, performance bonds, and payment bonds, but contractors may also need to obtain maintenance, supply, or subdivision bonds.

Kansas Court Bonds

Kansas courts can order plaintiffs or defendants appealing court decisions involving contested property or large damage awards to obtain an appeal bond. They can also order anyone assuming a role with fiduciary responsibility over someone else’s assets, such as an executor of an estate or guardian of a minor, to purchase a type of court bond known as a probate bond.
