How Much Do Idaho Mortgage Broker Lender Bonds Cost?

How Do Idaho Mortgage Lender Bonds Work?
Idaho mortgage lender or broker surety bonds create a contract between three parties:
- Principal: The mortgage broker/lender who purchases the bond
- Surety: The company that issues the bond to the principal
- Obligee: The Idaho Department of Finance that requires the bond
If the principal violates the bond terms and a consumer is harmed, the surety will pay for all damages up to the full bond amount. The principal is responsible for reimbursing the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
Idaho mortgage broker bonds remain continuous until canceled. All you need to do is pay a renewal invoice at the end of each term to maintain your bond coverage. To cancel a bond, the principal or surety must send 30-day’s written notice to the Department of Finance.
