About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Boise licenses businesses that install, service, or maintain security alarm systems within city limits, and the City Clerk's licensing office conditions that license on a $10,000 surety bond. Boise's own licensing materials describe this as the company-level bond — separate from the smaller bond each individual patrol agent or installer must carry.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Boise (the obligee), with customers and the public as the protected parties. If the licensed business violates the city code governing security alarm installation services, a harmed party can make a claim against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay in full force and effect throughout the licensing period, so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration to keep your filing continuous. Boise also requires liability insurance alongside the bond; that coverage is separate and is not part of what you're buying here.

City of Boise — City Clerk Licensing (Security Company License)The City of Boise's City Clerk licensing office requires a licensed private patrol, security service, or security alarm installation service to file a $10,000 bond naming the City of Boise before a license issues. The individual private patrol agent or security alarm installer license carries a separate, smaller $2,500 bond — confirm which license applies to you; we write both.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Boise security alarm installation service bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every licensed installation service. The $10,000 bond amount is set by the City of Boise's licensing requirements, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many applicants finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information. If a check ever runs on this bond, it's a soft pull that won't affect your score.
What's the difference between this bond and the $2,500 installer bond?This $10,000 bond is filed by the licensed security alarm installation service company. Boise separately requires each individual private patrol agent or alarm installer to carry their own $2,500 bond — we write that one too.
