The City of Kansas City, Kansas — administered by the Unified Government of Wyandotte County — requires a $10,000 bond as a condition of its sign hanger license. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every sign hanger. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.
















Your sign hanger license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.

$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A Kansas City, KS sign hanger bond is a public-safety-and-property guarantee. The Unified Government licenses the contractors who erect and hang signs in the right-of-way and on buildings, and wants a financial backstop that you will follow the adopted sign code and stand behind work that hangs over public spaces.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Kansas City, KS (the obligee), with property owners and the public as the protected parties. If a licensed sign hanger violates the city code or damages public or private property, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Sign hangers who pull permits and follow the code treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
