This page is general information, not legal advice. Bond amounts are set by the City of Boise, and every application is reviewed before a bond is issued. See our disclaimer.

Who these bonds are for

Boise licenses several trades and activities at the city level, each with its own bond. A plumber pulling permits inside city limits needs the plumber bond; an alarm company needs the alarm contractor bond; a door-to-door seller needs the solicitor or vendor bond. The bond you need is the one your city license names.

What the bond does

The bond runs to the City of Boise and protects the public, not the license holder. If the business breaks a city ordinance or leaves work in a state that causes a loss, a claim can be paid against the bond. The business then repays the surety. It is a license condition, not personal coverage for the contractor.

How to apply

Choose your bond above, enter your business and contact details, and you go straight to the secure application. The City of Boise sets the required amount, confirmed after review, so check the current figure with the city licensing office before you file.
