Kansas 911 surcharge remittance

We fill Kansas 911 Fee Submission Data Report in the state's own workbook, its formulas and layout untouched. You review it, sign it, and send it to Kansas State 911 Board.

The state publishes a workbook and this product fills it in place, leaving its formulas, styles and layout exactly as the state issued them. The workbook recalculates its own totals when it is opened.

The Kansas State 911 Board publishes the submission report as an Excel workbook, and the product fills that same file, leaving its formulas, validations, named ranges and sheet protection untouched. The fill is tested by reopening the filled file and comparing it with the state’s blank. The board’s portal is where the workbook is uploaded once the provider has selected their registered name on it; the workbook is the filing artifact, which is why this state ships at a filled tier rather than as a portal state.

Cadence

Monthly · set by statute

“Each provider shall remit the amount of all 911 fees collected in each calendar month to the state 911 board not more than 15 days after the close of such calendar month. Upon each such remittance, the provider shall file a return for the preceding month with the board.”

K.S.A. 12-5370(e)

Monthly, on the fees collected in the calendar month. The return is filed with the remittance rather than on a separate schedule.

Due dates

911 fee remittance and return

To: Kansas State 911 Board
Rule: 15 days after the period ends
Weekends: the date shown is not moved for a weekend or holiday
Applies to: Monthly

“Each provider shall remit the amount of all 911 fees collected in each calendar month to the state 911 board not more than 15 days after the close of such calendar month.”

K.S.A. 12-5370(e)

The return travels with the remittance: the same subsection requires a return for the preceding month upon each remittance.

Kansas publishes no weekend or holiday rule for this deadline, so the engine moves no date.

Counting rule

Per subscriber account, which the statute defines as the ten-digit access number assigned to a service user for billing, up to the maximum capacity of the simultaneous outbound calling capability of a multi-line telephone system or equivalent service. That is a capacity rule rather than a per-seat count: a PBX, hybrid key system, Centrex, SIP trunk group or equivalent VoIP service is counted by access number tied to its simultaneous outbound calling capacity, not by counting every extension. The fee reaches any exchange telecommunications service, wireless service, VoIP service or other service capable of contacting a public safety answering point. No numeric cap on accounts per customer or per location was found.

Kansas folds VoIP service into the same fee, the same amount and the same remittance as wireline exchange and wireless service, and draws no fixed-or-nomadic and no interconnected-or-not distinction in the text either research pass reviewed. For an interconnected-VoIP provider selling SIP channels or trunk packages rather than per-seat lines, the entry figure is concurrent outbound calling capacity per ten-digit access number. A naive per-seat count produces a wrong remittance in either direction depending on how the provider packages service, which is why the entry grid asks for capacity in the statute’s own words.

Per-customer cap
None found. Both research passes searched K.S.A. 12-5363, 12-5369 and 12-5370 and located no numeric cap on subscriber accounts per customer or per location. No primary Kansas administrative-code source for the state 911 board was reached by either pass, so a regulation-level cap has not been ruled out by an exhaustive search.

“the 10-digit access number assigned to a service user by a provider for the purpose of billing a service user up to the maximum capacity of the simultaneous outbound calling capability of a multi-line telephone system or equivalent service”

K.S.A. 12-5363(t), defining “subscriber account”

Collection allowance

Kansas grants a provider no collection allowance and no retained percentage. The statute requires remittance of “the amount of all 911 fees collected” with no retention clause, and the workbook has no deduction column: what a provider remits is what it collected. One adjacent provision is not a collection allowance and should not be read as one — K.S.A. 12-5370(c) relieves a provider of any duty to take legal action to collect an unpaid fee from a customer, which is a liability carve-out.

K.S.A. 12-5370, read in full by both research passes, with K.S.A. 12-5371 through 12-5373 and 12-5384 checked for an allowance and found to carry none

Rate history

The engine resolves the window that covers the filing period, never the latest one. A back period therefore prices at the rate that was in force for it.

2019-07-01 → current
$0.90 per account per month · 911 fee per subscriber account
K.S.A. 12-5369(a)
https://ksrevisor.gov/statutes/chapters/ch12/012_053_0069.html · retrieved Wed, August 12, 2026
In force from July 1, 2019. The 2019 act (House Bill 2084, L. 2019, ch. 39) amended K.S.A. 12-5369 from fifty-three cents to ninety cents in its section 7 and took effect on publication in the statute book, and the Legislature’s own 2019–20 codification of the section records its history as “L. 2011, ch. 84, § 8; L. 2019, ch. 39, § 7; July 1.” Both documents were fetched from the Kansas Legislature on September 26, 2026, and the Kansas Legislative Research Department’s own list of laws effective July 1, 2019 names HB 2084 among them. Periods before July 2019 were priced at the earlier amount, which is not recorded here, so they are refused.
The 2024 act moved fee-reduction authority from the Kansas 911 Coordinating Council to the state 911 board; the 2025 act abolished the Local Collection Point Administrator and restructured how the money flows. Neither touched the amount.
The board’s own filename for the download bakes the fee into the label, which makes a filename change on the provider page a rate-drift signal in its own right.

This state’s schedule is a per-sub-jurisdiction lookup rather than one figure, and the record carries it line by line out of the state’s own published table.

Zero-report rule

not published

Zero report · not on record

Kansas does not state whether a month with no fees collected still requires a filed return. The statute attaches the return duty to “each such remittance” of fees collected and says nothing about a month with nothing to remit, and no agency guidance resolves it either way. The workbook’s Total Fees Remitted field would mechanically accept a zero, which is a property of a spreadsheet rather than a rule and is not rendered as one here. No sworn or declaratory zero-report language exists in Kansas statute, and none may be composed.

Searched: K.S.A. 12-5363, 12-5369 and 12-5370 in full, the board’s Telecommunication Providers page, its instruction manual for provider data submissions, and the workbook itself. Both research passes reached the same absence.

Record retention

3 years

Three years from collection, quoted identically by both research passes from the state’s own statute text. The duty runs from the time the fees are collected rather than from the filing date.

“The provider shall maintain records of the amount of any such fees collected in accordance with this act for a period of three years from the time the fees are collected.”

K.S.A. 12-5370(e)

Registration

A provider registers for an account on the Kansas 911 portal, selecting the telecommunications service provider role and the applicable sub-type, and the board approves the registration before it is activated.

https://911portal.kansasgis.org/

The only agency walkthrough of this process is dated 2017 and predates both the current fee and the 2024 and 2025 restructuring of the board, so its screen-by-screen detail should be confirmed with the board. The underlying workbook-then-upload workflow is unchanged: the old portal address redirects to the current one and the current workbook is hosted live.

The state’s own workbook

Form: The state publishes no form identifier. Kansas assigns this report no number. The workbook’s own title cell reads “Kansas 911 Fee Submission Data Report”, and the board’s provider page names the download “911 Fee Data Submission Form $.90” — a filename that bakes the current fee into the label rather than a form identifier.
Title: Kansas 911 Fee Submission Data Report
Revision: Jan 2020 (from the served filename; the package carries no internal revision marker)
Published at: https://kansas911.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Final-911-Fee-Data-Submission-Form-Manual-Jan-2020.xlsx

The provider selects their own registered name in the workbook’s Service Provider Name field, then uploads it through the Kansas 911 portal, where they select the month and year and attach the file. Payment travels separately, by the ACH arrangement the board sets up with the provider.

Remit to

State, single agency

Agency: Kansas State 911 Board
Division: Fee-collection administration is listed on the board’s own provider page as handled by a contracted administrator, Mainstream Nonprofit Solutions, Inc.
Address: The workbook is uploaded through the Kansas 911 portal. The board publishes an ACH debit authorization form for the payment leg; the copy it still hosts is dated 2017 and names the predecessor Kansas 911 Coordinating Council, so payment mechanics should be confirmed with the board before a first filing.
Contact: state911board@ks.gov · the published fee-form contact is k911@teammns.org, (844) 271-5301
Rate set by: The Kansas Legislature sets the amount by statute. The state 911 board holds authority to lower it and has published no lowered amount.

Out of scope

What this page does not cover.

The prepaid wireless 911 fee
K.S.A. 12-5371 imposes a separate fee of 2.06% of the retail transaction, collected by the retail seller at the point of sale and remitted to the Kansas Department of Revenue. A different remitter and a different agency from the state 911 board track this record covers.
A local 911 charge
There is none to name. Kansas gives the provider no local-level remittance duty at all; public safety answering points are funded out of the state fund, which is what makes this a clean single-agency state.

Everything else this record does not know

Collecting agency · not on record

Who receives a Kansas remittance operationally is not settled. The 2025 act abolished the statutory Local Collection Point Administrator role and the codified statute now directs the remittance and the return to the state 911 board with no administrator named, while the board’s live provider page still lists a contracted administrator as the fee-form contact and the ACH form it still hosts names the board’s predecessor council at an address and an e-mail domain that predate the restructuring. Whether the contractor receives remittances as the board’s agent or the function has moved in-house was not resolved from any primary source. This record cites the board as the statutory recipient, shows the contractor as the published contact, and asks a provider to confirm remit-to and payment mechanics with the board before a first filing.

Searched: K.S.A. 12-5370 as codified, the Kansas Register notices for both amending acts, the board’s About Us and Telecommunication Providers pages, and the ACH debit authorization form the board hosts.

Registration · not on record

The portal’s current registration and upload mechanics are documented only in an instruction manual dated 2017, which predates the current fee, the Jan 2020 form revision and the 2024 and 2025 restructuring, and which references the older portal address and older staff. The workflow itself appears unchanged — the old address redirects to the current portal and the current workbook is hosted live — but the screen-by-screen detail is stale.

Searched: The board’s Telecommunication Providers page, its instruction manual for provider data submissions, and the live portal.

Counting rule · not on record

No primary Kansas administrative-code source for the state 911 board was reached by either research pass, so the search for a regulation-level cap on subscriber accounts is not exhaustive. Nothing in the statute imposes one.

Searched: K.S.A. 12-5363, 12-5369 and 12-5370 in full. One pass attempted an administrative-code check through a third-party host, which refused the request.
