About this bond

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.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Houston County motor fuel distributor bond? ▾
The premium is $100 flat, set by our carrier’s rate book for this bond — the same for every distributor, and the price you see is the checkout price. The $10,000 amount is set by the county, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? ▾
No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? ▾
Fixed-amount county tax bonds like this issue right after purchase for most applicants — many finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? ▾
The application collects no credit information — there's no credit section to fill in. If a check is ever required on a bond like this, it's a soft pull only and never affects your score.
When does it renew? ▾
The bond must stay active for as long as Houston County requires it for your license. Buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
