Navajo Nation fuel distributor bonds.
2% of the bond amount.
A fuel distributor licensed to import and distribute motor vehicle fuel on the Navajo Nation is required to file a bond as part of that license with the Office of the Navajo Tax Commission, which administers the Nation’s Fuel Excise Tax. Premiums cost 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum; the application includes a credit consent authorizing a soft pull only. Enter the bond amount your license file requires and your exact price appears at the application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the fuel distributor bond actually covers
The Navajo Nation taxes motor vehicle fuel brought into the Nation for sale or use through its Fuel Excise Tax, administered by the Office of the Navajo Tax Commission. A distributor — the licensee who imports and first distributes gasoline or diesel within the Nation — must hold a distributor license, and the Tax Commission requires a bond as part of that license so the fuel tax the distributor collects and remits is actually secured.
The bond backs the distributor’s duty to report and pay the Fuel Excise Tax it owes on time. If a licensed distributor fails to remit tax due, the Tax Commission can look to the bond to recover the shortfall, and the distributor then owes the surety. It is a tax-compliance guarantee, not insurance for the distributor.
We could not independently verify a published statute section or fixed statutory bond amount for this requirement from public sources, so we frame it conservatively: the Office of the Navajo Tax Commission sets and confirms the required bond amount on your distributor license file. Enter that figure here; we price the bond at 2% of the amount, $100 minimum, after a soft credit consent that never affects your score.
