Idaho surety bonds.
The contractor and commercial bonds we arrange in Idaho. Pick a bond to see what it's for, who requires it and how to apply.
Idaho Bid Bond
Idaho political subdivisions may require bid security on public works construction over $200,000 under Idaho Code § 67-2805. When required, it must be at least 5% of the amount bid, and a bidder's bond from a qualified surety is one accepted form.
Idaho Performance & Payment Bond
Idaho's public works bond law, Idaho Code § 54-1926, requires a performance bond and a payment bond before a public works contract of $50,000 or more is awarded. Each bond must be at least 85% of the contract amount.
Idaho Contractor License Bond
Idaho contractor registration under Idaho Code § 54-5210 needs liability insurance but no surety bond. Plumbing contractors are different: the plumbing board may require a compliance bond of up to $2,000 under Idaho Code § 54-2606.
Idaho Mechanic's Lien Discharge Bond
Under Idaho Code § 45-519, an owner or contractor may record a surety bond to release a mechanic's lien from the property. The bond must be 1.5 times the lien claim.
Idaho Subdivision Bond
In Idaho, cities and counties set subdivision improvement guarantees in their own subdivision codes. For example, the City of Arco lets a developer post a surety bond of 110% of the estimated cost of required public improvements before the final plat.
Idaho Maintenance Bond
Idaho Code § 54-1926 mandates only a performance bond and a payment bond—each at least 85% of the contract amount—for public works contracts of $50,000 or more; it does not separately require a maintenance or warranty bond. Project owners include maintenance bonds in their own contract documents when needed. An Idaho Water Resource Board design-build contract (RFQ No. 2023-04) illustrates the prevailing practice: no separate maintenance bond is needed when the performance bond already covers a one-year warranty, but a maintenance bond equal to 10% of the contract price is required if the warranty period exceeds one year.
Idaho Right-of-Way Bond
The Idaho Transportation Department rules on highway right-of-way encroachments (IDAPA 39.03.42) provide for a bond to guarantee that permitted work is done to permit terms. Cities and counties set their own street permit bonds.
Idaho Permit Bond
No single Idaho statute uniformly requires a permit bond for all building or work permits. IDAPA 39.03.42 gives the Idaho Transportation Department discretionary authority to require a performance bond for encroachments on state highway rights-of-way, sized to cover potential repair costs. At the local level, the Ada County Highway District requires a $25,000 Temporary Highway Use Permit Bond before a contractor may work in county road right-of-way, and cities such as Boise and Idaho Falls impose comparable surety bond requirements for their own rights-of-way.
Idaho Supply Bond
Idaho has no statute specifically requiring a supply bond from material or equipment suppliers. Idaho Code § 54-1926 requires a contractor-furnished payment bond (at least 85% of contract amount) on public works construction contracts of $50,000 or more, which protects those who supply labor or materials to the contractor, but the supplier itself is not required to post a bond. Idaho Code § 67-2806, which governs political subdivisions' procurement of personal property and services, allows only optional bid security of at least 5% of the amount bid and does not mandate a supply bond from any vendor.
Idaho Stop Payment Notice Release Bond
Idaho is not listed among the states with a stop notice procedure, so a stop payment release bond is not used. Unpaid parties use mechanic's liens or the public works payment bond instead.
Idaho Notary Bond
Idaho notaries must file a $10,000 surety bond with their application under Idaho Code § 51-121. The Secretary of State issues commissions for six years.
Idaho Freight Broker Bond (BMC-84)
Property brokers registered with FMCSA must keep $75,000 in financial security under 49 U.S.C. 13906. A surety bond is filed on Form BMC-84; a trust fund is filed on Form BMC-85.
