The City of Pocatello licenses building contractors by class. Building Class A-2 — the mid tier, with $500K liability — requires a fixed $25,000 surety bond under Pocatello Municipal Code 15.03.020. Ours is $750 flat, 3% of $25,000, with no credit check.
















Contractor license bonds are simple. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. No financials, no credit check section.
Fixed contractor license bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Pocatello Building Department for your Class A-2 registration. Wet-ink original on request.
$25,000 bond × 3% = $750, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Pocatello requires every construction trades contractor to register with the City and obtain the certifications or licenses set in its code before working for compensation in the city. The classes are tiered: Class A-2 carries $500K liability and a $25,000 bond — below Class A-1 ($50,000) and above the other classes ($10,000).
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the City of Pocatello (the obligee). The bond guarantees you will comply with the City’s building code and contractor ordinance; a harmed party or the City can recover against it up to $25,000.
The City of Pocatello must also be named as an additional insured on your liability coverage. The bond stays active for the life of your registration; we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so it never lapses.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond does not have one.
