About this bond

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.

Utah Code Title 32B, Chapter 9 (event permits)Utah Code Title 32B, Chapter 9 governs DABS event permits, including the temporary beer event permit for serving 5%-or-less beer at a public or private event. DABS can require a compliance bond as a condition of the permit; the amount associated with this permit is $500, and applications are generally due at least 30 days before the event. Confirm the bond requirement and amount with DABS for your specific event.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Utah temporary beer event bond?The premium is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond amount is $500, which is the surety's maximum liability, not what you pay.

Do I pay the $500?No. You pay $100. The $500 is the surety's maximum liability to DABS if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

When do I need to file it?DABS generally requires temporary beer event permit applications at least 30 days before the event, so plan to have the bond in hand well ahead of your date. Most of ours issue right after purchase.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information at all. Small fixed-amount permit bonds like this one rarely need a review, and if one runs, it's a soft pull that won't touch your score.

Can I buy it for more than one year?You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term, though most temporary event organizers just need it for a single event. If you run recurring events, a multi-year term can save the re-application step.
