About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the pharmacy bond actually guarantees

Utah licenses medical cannabis pharmacies under the Utah Agricultural Code, Title 4, Chapter 41a. Since H.B. 72 moved pharmacy and courier oversight from the Department of Health and Human Services on July 1, 2023, the licensing agency is the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, working with the licensing advisory board created under Section 4-41a-201.1.

An applicant must obtain and maintain a performance bond in the amount of $100,000, issued by a surety authorized to transact surety business in the state, for each application submitted to the Department. The Department may not issue the license until the selected applicant has the bond in place — so the bond is a gating item, not a post-award formality.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Utah (the obligee). The bond stands behind your compliance with the chapter and the rules made under it — and it is not insurance for you. If the surety pays, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay continuously in force for as long as you hold the license; we track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

Utah Code 4-41a-1001(2)(b)(iii)Section 4-41a-1001 of the Utah Agricultural Code sets the eligibility requirements for a medical cannabis pharmacy license. Subsection (2)(b)(iii) requires the applicant to obtain and maintain a performance bond in the amount of $100,000, issued by a surety authorized to transact surety business in the state, for each application submitted to the Department — and the Department may not issue a license until the bond is obtained. Confirm the amount on your application packet before you buy.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Utah medical cannabis pharmacy bond?The premium is 2% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The bond amount itself starts at the statutory $100,000 per application, so enter that figure (or the amount your packet names) and your exact price appears at the application, before you pay.

Do I pay the $100,000?No. You pay the premium — 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. The $100,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond. It is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

How fast will I have the bond?This bond is priced at checkout, so it issues the moment you pay — your e-signed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your pharmacy application.

Is there a credit check?If a credit screen runs on this bond, it is a soft pull only — never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score. The 2% rate and $100 minimum stay the same either way.

Who requires the bond, and where do I file it?The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, which has licensed medical cannabis pharmacies since July 1, 2023. The executed bond is submitted with your license application, and it must stay in force for as long as you hold the license.
