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.

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 the Tax Commission. Submit the executed bond to complete or renew your fuel distributor license. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Tax Commission insists.
What sets the price
