Kansas Asbestos Abatement Contractor License

KDHE's Bureau of Air — Performance Testing and Asbestos Control Unit — issues annual asbestos abatement contractor licenses under the Kansas Asbestos Control Act (K.S.A. 65-5301 et seq.). Any firm, organization, or governmental entity performing asbestos abatement in Kansas must hold this license.

Designated Supervisor Must Hold Valid Class II Asbestos Worker Certificate

The firm's designated supervisor must hold a currently valid Class II asbestos worker certificate under K.A.R. 28-50 — the Kansas designation for a person certified to supervise and direct asbestos removal and encapsulation projects. Maintaining this certificate requires completing an annual refresher course approved by KDHE (K.S.A. 65-5308(d)).

$1,000 Annual Fee Covers a 12-Month Period

The application and renewal fee is $1,000 per year, covering a 12-month period from the effective date (K.A.R. 28-50-2(e), K.S.A. 65-5306).

Pre-Work Notification and Project Fees

Submit written notification to KDHE at least 10 working days before abatement begins (K.A.R. 28-50-8(a)(1)). Each reportable abatement activity carries a $50 baseline notification fee; on qualifying large-scale projects, an additional 0.5% of the contract amount applies, capped at $2,500 (K.A.R. 28-50-8(d)).

Penalties for Unlicensed Abatement

Abating asbestos without a license violates the Kansas Asbestos Control Act. Civil penalties reach up to $5,000 per violation (K.S.A. 65-5314). Willful violations carry criminal penalties — a class C misdemeanor for a first offense and class B misdemeanor for a second (K.S.A. 65-5313). KDHE's fine schedule starts at $2,500 for unlicensed asbestos removal.
