Pocatello, ID — Building Class A-2 Contractor Bond
Pocatello's Class A-2 is its residential builder category for one- and two-family structures and their accessory structures. The displayed City code requires $25,000 bond security for A-2, separate from its liability-insurance requirement. Match that category rather than a commercial A-1 or limited B filing.

What this bond does
The security supports the City's A-2 licensing and contractor-duty requirements. Those duties include contract performance, payments to subcontractors and material suppliers and required inspections.
- Who needs it
- The legal contractor seeking a Pocatello A-2 residential builder license. Identify the applicant and intended work and provide the City's qualification evidence rather than assuming a State trade credential alone grants this City classification.
- Who it protects
- Section 15.03.060 expressly allows the City to claim against the license-and-permit bond for breaches of listed contractor duties. These include completing authorized contract work, complying with permits and construction codes, making proper subcontractor and supplier payments and obtaining final inspections.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Can an A-2 filing be used for any commercial building?
The displayed code identifies A-2 as residential work on one- and two-family structures and accessories. It identifies A-1 as the commercial category. Have the City confirm the classification for the actual project rather than choosing by the bond name alone.
Does this only secure the initial licensing paperwork?
The City can claim for violations of the contractor duties in section 15.03.060, including covered contract performance, proper payments and inspection obligations. Keep the actual undertaking and ongoing requirements in view; obtaining a license is not the end of those duties.
