What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Boise licenses the individuals who work as private patrol agents or security alarm installers within city limits, and the City Clerk's licensing office conditions that license on a $2,500 surety bond. Boise's own licensing materials note this individual bond is separate from the larger company bond a licensed security business carries — an employee covered by their employer's bond may not need to file their own.
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 a licensed patrol agent or installer violates the city code governing this work, 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, and Boise requires renewal applicants to prove the bond is still current, so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $2,500 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the City Clerk's office. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your private patrol agent or security alarm installer license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $2,500 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
