Houston County fuel distributor bonds.
$300. Five minutes.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Houston County levies its own motor fuel tax, and conditions a distributor’s license on a $10,000 tax bond. The bond is a tax-payment guarantee: it stands behind the county motor-fuel taxes you collect and owe to the county.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Houston County (the obligee). If a distributor fails to remit the county’s motor-fuel tax, the county can recover the unpaid tax against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We keep your $10,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
