About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Pocatello Class A-2 bond guarantees

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.

Pocatello Municipal Code 15.03.020Pocatello Municipal Code 15.03.020 (Licenses / Registration Required; Fees) conditions a City contractor license on registration and a surety bond, with the bond amount set by class. Building Class A-2 requires a $25,000 bond (with $500K liability); confirm current amounts and forms with the Pocatello Building Department.
