ID plumbing contractor bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
Idaho requires plumbing contractors to file a $2,000 surety bond as a condition of licensure. At 3% that lands below our minimum, so the price is our $275 flat — and this is among the fastest bonds we issue. No credit check on this one.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Idaho licenses plumbing contractors through the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL) — which absorbed the former Division of Building Safety's plumbing program — and conditions the license on a $2,000 surety bond. The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee that you perform plumbing work in accordance with Idaho's plumbing laws and code.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Idaho together with harmed parties. If a contractor's faulty or non-compliant work causes a loss, the harmed party can recover against the bond up to $2,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Idaho also requires plumbing contractors to carry liability insurance separately; the bond is the small surety filing that conditions your license.
