About each permit

Johnson County Contractor License (11 classes)

This is the genuine local credential Kansas's own state layer predicts should exist: the state licenses no general contractor, electrician, plumber or HVAC trade itself, leaving that entirely to local government. Unlike Wichita and Sedgwick County, which jointly run a single city-county department (MABCD) for this purpose, Overland Park does not license contractors itself at all — its own Building Code simply requires proof of this Johnson County credential before the City will issue a building permit, and the County licenses contractors the same way for work performed in Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, Shawnee and other Johnson County cities alike.
