What it is and who needs it.
What the sales tax bond actually covers
Most Utah businesses get a sales tax license without a bond. But under Utah Code 59-12-106, the State Tax Commission can require a bond before it issues a license — typically when a prior license was revoked for a delinquency, or there is a delinquency in paying sales tax.
When required, the bond is generally the amount of the tax, penalty, and interest currently delinquent and due. The statute lets you satisfy the requirement with a cashier's check, certificate of deposit, cash, or a surety bond — the surety bond is usually the cheapest, because you pay a small premium instead of tying up the full amount.
The bond stands behind the sales tax you collect and owe — if you fail to remit, the Commission can demand payment from the surety up to the bond limit. We issue the amount the Tax Commission set on the state form (TC-763ST); pricing starts from $100 and no credit check up to $10,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the State Tax Commission. Submit the executed bond on form TC-763ST to satisfy the Commission. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
