Contractor Licensing Review Board
Meeting Information
The next regularly scheduled Contractor Licensing Review Board meeting is July 8, 2026 at 3:30 p.m.
The purpose of the Contractor Licensing Review Board (CLRB) is to carry out the rules for the contractor licensing program that were originally approved by the Johnson County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) in August 2001.
They work to make sure contractors follow high standards of honesty, skill, and good practices in construction, and do this in several ways:
- They create bylaws to guide how the Board operates and holds meetings; and these must be approved by the BOCC.
- They create rules and regulations that follow the contractor licensing Resolution 076-24, which was set by the BOCC.
- They set the standards and course requirements for continuing education for licensed contractors.
- They are responsible for providing the guidance for the Program Manager who reviews applications and issues or renews contractor licenses.
- They hold hearings on issues such as license approvals, suspensions, revocations, renewals, reinstatements, and exams.
- And, in partnership with the Johnson County Department of Planning, Housing, and Community Development, they create a yearly budget for contractor licensing, which includes expected income, expenses, and fees. All money collected is tracked separately as part of the County budget, following County accounting rules.
This helps protect the safety, health, property, and well-being of the public.
Board Requirements
The CLRB has nine (9) members who each have experience in a specific trade. They are chosen by the BOCC and must either live in Johnson County, work for a company that has a Johnson County contractor license and is based in the county, or be a stakeholder in one. These members volunteer their time and are not paid. Each member of the CLRB, except for the one who represents the general public, must be active in their trade or profession and also need to have at least five years of experience in that trade or profession. Members serve 4-year terms and stay in their position until someone new is chosen and ready to take over. Members can be reappointed for another term, but that decision is up to the BOCC.
The CLRB meets in-person, unless otherwise notified, on the second Wednesday of each month at 3:30 PM at 111 S Cherry Street, Olathe, KS 66061.
