What the public official bond actually covers
Utah requires many public officers and employees who collect, hold, or disburse public money to file an official bond before taking office. The general framework lives in Utah Code Title 52, Chapter 1 (Official Oaths and Bonds), with specific amounts often set by the statute that governs the particular office or by the appointing authority.
The bond is a faithful-performance guarantee: it conditions payment if the official fails to faithfully perform the duties of the office or fails to account for public funds. It runs to the benefit of the public entity and the people it serves.
It is not insurance for the official — if the surety pays a claim, the official repays the surety. Because the required amount varies by office, there is no single statutory figure: confirm the amount your office or appointing authority requires, enter it, and we issue the bond at a flat 3%, soft pull only.
