What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A master plumber bond is a workmanship-and-compliance guarantee. The Unified Government wants a financial backstop that your plumbing work meets code and that the public is protected from damage caused by your work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas (the obligee). If your work damages persons or property or violates the plumbing code, the Unified Government and harmed parties can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. The Wyandotte County term runs annually through December 31 — let it lapse and your license is in jeopardy, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Unified Government. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Building Inspections Division for your plumber license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
