In Kansas, motor vehicle dealers must report and pay a sales tax on each vehicle sold. 

Retailers are typically responsible for charging customers for sales tax then remitting funds to the state government. This bond ensures that retailers are not inflating the sales tax to overcharge consumers.

How Does a Kansas Retailer Sales Bond Work? 

A retailer sales bond creates a legal contract between these three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the retailer filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Department of Revenue, Division of Vehicles requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of KS-1526. 

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your retailer sales bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
