UT temporary beer event bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
Utah’s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services (DABS) can require a $500 bond with a temporary beer event permit. Because 3% of $500 is below our $275 minimum, this one is simply $275 flat — and the application is five minutes with no credit check.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A temporary beer event permit lets you sell or serve beer of 5% ABV or less at a public or private event. Utah’s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services (DABS) issues these permits under Title 32B, Chapter 9, and can condition the permit on a small $500 compliance bond.
The bond is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Utah through DABS (the obligee). It guarantees you follow Utah alcohol law at the event and pay any fines, fees, or penalties owed for violations — if you don’t, the state can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. For most events it is a paperwork formality. File the permit application and bond at least 30 days before the event.
