Licensed Contractor
Definition
In Idaho, well drilling is a licensed profession regulated by IDWR. A licensed well driller has met the state’s education, examination, experience, and insurance requirements to legally perform well construction work. Licensing is specific to the work type — there are separate licensing categories for drillers, pump installers, and monitoring well contractors. Only licensed drillers may apply for well drilling permits, perform well construction, and file well logs with IDWR. Unlicensed well drilling carries legal penalties and creates uninsured liability exposure for both the driller and the property owner. Verifying a contractor’s license status through IDWR’s public contractor registry takes less than five minutes and should be standard practice before signing any drilling contract.
