Most Popular Surety Bonds in Idaho

What is an Idaho surety bond?

If you’ve never heard the term “surety bond” before, it might be confusing at first. We’ve got all the information you need, to help you comply with this requirement without the hassle.

Surety bonds are a three-party agreement between a principal (posting the bond), an obligee (requiring the bond), and a surety (underwriting the bond). They are most frequently required from businesses wishing to obtain a license or a permit, though they can be required from individuals too. Generally, the purpose of surety bonds is to protect the public, and ensure compliance with certain regulations.

Compared to most states, Idaho has relatively few bond requirements. Fortunately, we can write all of them for our customers, at some of the lowest rates in the industry. We cooperate with a number of A-Rated, Treasury-Listed sureties, which allows us to issue your bond directly from our office, cutting out the middle man and helping you get your bond faster.

You can start your online application now by finding the bond you need in the table below, or continue reading for more information. Our surety bonds experts are there to assist you if you encounter any problems– simply call us at (877)-514-5146.

Questions about Surety Bonds in Idaho

How much does an Idaho surety bond cost?

The cost you end up paying for your surety bond depends on two things: the total bond amount and the bond premium.

The total bond amount is different for each surety bond, and it refers to the protection that the bond offers to possible claimants. For example, an Idaho auto dealer bond has a total bond amount of $20,000. So if a defrauded client files a claim, they can get reimbursement up to $20,000.

The bond premium, on the other hand, is the sum that the applicant has to pay in order for the surety to underwrite the bond. Sureties set the premium amount based on the applicant’s credit score. An applicant with a good credit score can pay anywhere between 1% and 4% of the total bond amount. Premiums are usually paid in an annual or biannual basis.
