What it is and who needs it.
What the alcohol bond actually covers
Utah regulates alcohol through the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services under Title 32B, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act. Most retail licenses and permits — taverns, bars, restaurants, reception centers, on-premise banquet, and others — require a bond as a condition of the license.
Under Section 32B-5-204, the bond is payable to the department and conditioned on the licensee faithfully complying with the Act, the rules of the Alcoholic Beverage Services Commission, and any taxes or fees owed. The amount is set by the specific license or permit type — there is no single figure across all licenses.
It's a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Utah (the obligee). If the state recovers against the bond, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you. Enter the amount on your DABS application and see your exact price, starting from $100.
