About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the pesticide business bond covers

Kansas licenses pesticide businesses through the Department of Agriculture, and under K.S.A. 2-2448 the secretary will not issue the license until the applicant furnishes proof of financial responsibility — which can be a surety bond of not less than $6,000 per year (a certificate of liability insurance is the alternative).

The bond runs to the State of Kansas and is conditioned on compliance by the business and its officers, agents, and employees with the Kansas pesticide law. It protects people and property from harm caused by negligent or improper pesticide application.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim for damage you caused, you repay the surety. As of January 1, 2025, every pesticide business licensee or applicant must have a liability certificate or surety bond on file with the secretary. Enter the amount required and we issue it at a price from $100; the application collects no credit information.

As of January 1, 2025, licensees and applicants must have a certificate of liability insurance or a surety bond filed with the secretary. Confirm your required amount with the Department of Agriculture.

Who requires this bond?The Kansas Department of Agriculture requires proof of financial responsibility under K.S.A. 2-2448 before issuing a pesticide business license. A surety bond of not less than $6,000 per year satisfies it — a certificate of liability insurance is the alternative.
What does the bond protect against?It backs your compliance with the Kansas pesticide law and protects people and property from harm caused by negligent or improper application. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information. Most applications approve instantly; larger bond amounts may get a quick review, and if a credit check ever runs it is a soft pull that never affects your score.
