Kentucky Continuous Bond (KCB) is a type of surety bond that provides financial protection for the State of Kentucky. The bond is required for businesses that handle public funds or provide services to the state. The bond is issued by a surety company and guarantees the faithful performance of the business and the payment of all taxes due to the state. There are two types of Kentucky Continuous Bond: the Annual Bond and the Multi-Year Bond. The Annual Bond is a one-year bond that must be renewed each year and the Multi-Year Bond is a three-year bond that can be renewed for three-year terms. The bond amount is determined by the business and must be approved by the surety company. The bond must be kept in force at all times and renewed when needed.
