Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri are separate cities in separate states. Septic work on the Kansas side is regulated by the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, under Chapter 30 of the Unified Government Code, Sewers and Sewage Disposal, Sections 30-1 through 30-14 and 30-161 through 30-265. Missouri rules and Missouri bond forms do not apply here.
Installers need a Septic Installer License. No one may install, construct, repair or alter any part of an onsite sewage management system without a Septic Installer License and a septic permit. New installers must pass a written exam, which costs $65 each time it is given. The license fee is $125 a year, the same for any fraction of a year. Licenses expire on the last day of December, and a $50 late fee applies to renewals submitted on or after January 1. A homeowner license is available only for property legally deeded in the homeowner's own name.
Tank cleaners and pumpers need a Liquid Waste Hauling Permit for each hauling vehicle or trailer. The Unified Government asks for a copy of the occupational tax with that application to confirm the bond requirement has been met, and the vehicle must pass an inspection after the application and payment are received.
K.S.A. 19-3709 allows the county to license septic tank cleaners and sewage haulers and to provide for licensing procedures, fees, bonding, inspection and removal of licenses. The bond is the business's guarantee to the Unified Government that it will follow those rules. If the surety pays a valid claim, the business repays the surety. A violation of the county's licensing resolution is a class C misdemeanor under the statute, unless the county code enforcement penalties apply instead.
