About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the installer bond actually covers

Idaho regulates subsurface sewage disposal systems — septic systems — under the Individual / Subsurface Sewage Disposal Rules, IDAPA 58.01.03, administered by the Department of Environmental Quality through the seven district health departments. An installer must hold a registration permit, and the rules condition that permit on a surety bond.

The amount depends on your class: a basic installer posts $10,000 and a complex installer posts $30,000. The bond runs an annual term and expires December 31 each year, so it is renewed alongside your registration.

The bond is a public-health and consumer-protection guarantee — it stands behind your compliance with the installation rules. If faulty work that violates the rules causes a loss, the harmed party can recover against the bond; if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Enter your amount and see your price at the application, from $100.
