The general contractor and all subcontractors must have the following documents on file with the city prior to obtaining a building permit:
- a current City of Lenexa business license
- A Johnson County Contractor License is required to obtain building permits, except those for fence, land disturbance and site development permits. This list of exceptions is not complete; new categories may be added or deleted at the city’s discretion. The JCCL may be obtained from the Johnson County Courthouse offices located at 111 S. Cherry, Olathe, KS.
- A performance guarantee in the required amount when doing any digging, grading or excavating. This is provided by the General Contractor.
- Public improvement projects must post a performance and two-year maintenance bond for 100 percent of the cost of public improvements.
