How it works

Built for the post-judgment clock.

Execution can begin shortly after a money judgment is entered, so the supersedeas bond has to come together quickly. Here is the whole process:

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

Send us the file

Apply online and attach the final judgment and notice of appeal. We need the judgment amount, the parties, and the court, so we can size the penal sum Idaho’s rule requires.

WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY

A surety specialist underwrites it

A specialist reviews the judgment, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. Larger penal sums are typically collateralized — cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets.

ON APPROVAL

Execute & file

Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form with the power of attorney attached, ready for the district court to approve so the stay takes effect.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What a supersedeas bond actually does

An appeal does not, by itself, stop the winning party from collecting. A supersedeas bond (also called an appeal bond) is the security that buys you a stay — execution is held while the appellate court decides.

The bond guarantees that if your appeal fails, the judgment and the sums owed get paid. That is why Idaho sets the penal sum to the judgment plus 36% rather than a flat figure, and why the surety underwrites you before issuing it.

Because the surety is on the hook for the full amount, a large penal sum is usually collateralized — with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets — and supported by financials. We tell you what a given file needs before you commit.

Idaho RuleIdaho Appellate Rule 13(b)(15) provides that a money judgment may be stayed upon the posting of a cash deposit or supersedeas bond, in the amount of the judgment or order plus 36% of that amount, issued by a surety authorized to do business in Idaho. Idaho Code § 13-202 governs the stay of proceedings pending an appeal to the Supreme Court. Any objection to the sufficiency of the bond must be raised by motion within 21 days of its filing; for punitive damages, the bond requirement is waived as to the portion of punitive damages exceeding $1,000,000.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

What is an Idaho appeal or supersedeas bond? +
It is the security that stays execution of a judgment while you appeal. Under Idaho Appellate Rule 13(b) and Idaho Code § 13-202, posting a cash deposit or supersedeas bond holds collection on a money judgment until the appellate court rules. The bond guarantees the judgment and sums owed are paid if the appeal fails.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. Idaho sets the penal sum — for a money judgment that is the amount of the judgment plus 36%. A surety specialist reviews the file and the collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Will I need to post collateral? +
Often, yes, especially for a large penal sum. Because the surety guarantees the full amount, the bond is frequently collateralized with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets, and supported by financials. We tell you what your specific file requires before you commit.
How is the penal sum calculated? +
For a money judgment, Idaho Appellate Rule 13(b)(15) sets the supersedeas bond at the amount of the judgment plus 36% of that amount. The 36% is intended to cover accruing interest and costs through the appeal. For punitive damages, the bond requirement is waived as to any punitive award exceeding $1,000,000.
How fast can the bond be issued? +
A specialist typically returns a quote within one business day of a complete application. Once you bind and any collateral is in place, the executed bond issues on the court’s required form, ready for the district court to approve so the stay takes effect.
