Connecticut taxes fuels through the Department of Revenue Services (DRS), and a licensed aviation fuel dealer files a surety bond with DRS as security for the tax it collects. The amount is set by DRS — we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check, on the June 30 statutory renewal cycle.
















No underwriting queue for the standard fuel-dealer bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with DRS. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount DRS required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond to DRS by the statutory deadline so your dealer license stays current. The bond runs the July 1–June 30 fuel-tax year. Wet-ink originals mailed when DRS insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time per term, $275 minimum. Enter the figure DRS set and the premium updates.
Connecticut administers its fuels tax through the Department of Revenue Services under Title 12, Chapter 221. Before issuing or renewing a dealer license, DRS requires the dealer to file and maintain a surety bond as security for the tax the dealer is responsible for collecting and remitting.
Aviation fuel has its own treatment in Connecticut's fuels-tax law, but the bonding mechanism is the same: the bond stands behind the dealer's tax obligation, so the state can recover unpaid fuels tax against it. The amount is set by DRS based on your expected liability.
These bonds run on the state's fuel-tax year and are subject to statutory renewal each June 30 — DRS typically circulates renewal paperwork in the spring. Whatever amount DRS sets, we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
Submit the application with the bond amount DRS set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file before June 30.
