What it is and who needs it.
What the supplier bond actually covers
Alabama taxes motor fuel under the Terminal Excise Tax Act (Code of Alabama Title 40, Chapter 17, Article 12). A supplier — a position holder at a terminal who removes fuel across the rack — collects the excise tax and remits it to the Department of Revenue, so the state requires a bond standing behind that tax.
Under §40-17-335, a supplier’s bond is set at approximately twice the average monthly tax liability, not to exceed $2 million. The bond is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Alabama / Department of Revenue (the obligee). If a supplier fails to remit, the state recovers against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the state, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Department named, at a flat 3% with no credit check; large amounts tied to high monthly liability may get a quick underwriter review.
