Kansas Contractor & Trade License Requirements

Kansas does NOT require statewide licensing for general contractors, electricians, plumbers, or HVAC contractors. All trade licensing is handled at the city and county level, with requirements varying significantly by jurisdiction. The one exception is roofing: all roofing contractors must register with the Kansas Attorney General under the Kansas Roofing Registration Act. Major metro areas like Wichita (Sedgwick County), Overland Park (Johnson County), Kansas City, and Topeka each have their own licensing requirements.
