Private Activity Bond Program

The Private Activity Bond (PAB) Program is Utah’s tax-exempt bonding authority creating a lower cost, long-term source of capital under the Federal Tax Act of 1986.  The Federal Government allocates over $37 billion per year to states on a per capita basis.  Each state establishes its usage priorities by statute. The Utah State Legislature has distributed our volume cap into the various allotment accounts listed below:
