About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the fuel tax bond actually covers

Colorado participates in the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) under C.R.S. 39-27-301 et seq., which lets interstate motor carriers report and pay fuel-use tax through a single base-state license. Most carriers never need a bond — but the Department of Revenue can require one as a financial guarantee.

A bond is typically required when a licensee files late, fails to remit tax, or an account review indicates a guarantee is warranted. The same applies to gasoline and special fuel distributors. When required, the bond is generally twice the estimated average net tax liability for the quarterly reporting period.

The bond stands behind the fuel tax you collect or owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it. We issue the amount the Department of Revenue set, with pricing from $100 and the application collecting no credit information, on the form the state names (DR 0300 for IFTA, DR 7065 for distributors).

The bond amount itself is set by the Department of Revenue, generally twice your estimated average net tax liability for the quarterly reporting period. Enter the figure on your notice and your exact price appears at the application.
Do I always need this bond?No. Most IFTA licensees and distributors never post a bond. The Department of Revenue requires one mainly after a late filing, unremitted tax, or an account review that indicates a financial guarantee is warranted.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. If a check ever runs, it is a soft pull only — never a hard inquiry — and it never affects your credit score.
Which form do I file?IFTA licensees use the Colorado Mileage and Fuel Tax Bond (DR 0300); gasoline and special fuel distributors use the Distributors Bond (DR 7065). We issue the executed bond on the form the Department of Revenue names on your notice.
