Garage door rules in Meridian, ID

Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL) - Idaho Contractors Board — official site

Registration, explicitly not licensure - the Contractor Registration Act "requires registration, not licensure." "Any person who engages in a construction job with a dollar amount exceeding $2000.00 (materials & labor)" must register unless exempt. Exemptions include employees paid wages, material suppliers who do not install, property owners doing their own work without intent to sell within 12 months, commercial building owners maintaining their own facilities, and separately licensed professionals (architects, engineers, electricians, plumbers) acting within their own scope. There are no garage-door-specific classifications - one general contractor registration.

$2,000 - registration is required for "a construction job with a dollar amount exceeding $2000.00 (materials & labor)."

No surety bond required for registration. Applicants must supply a certificate from an insurer authorised in Idaho showing "a general liability policy ... in the sum of not less than $300,000 single limit" and worker's compensation coverage (or a statement of why it is not required).
