What it is and who needs it.
What the fuel supplier bond actually covers
Arizona licenses motor fuel suppliers through the Department of Transportation and conditions the license on a surety bond under A.R.S. 28-5631. The bond stands behind the fuel tax you collect at the rack and remit to the state — a financial guarantee that the tax actually reaches ADOT.
The amount is not fixed: the director fixes the bond, and in setting it the statute directs an amount equal to two times the director's estimate of your monthly tax, subject to a $5,000 minimum. The director can raise or lower it as your volume changes.
The bond is conditioned on prompt, truthful filing and full payment of the motor fuel taxes, penalties, and interest you owe. If you fail to remit, the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount ADOT set — premiums from $125, with your exact price shown at the application.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with ADOT. Submit the executed bond to the Arizona Department of Transportation with your supplier license. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, $125 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
