Connecticut aviation fuel dealer bonds.
From $100.
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 — pricing is 0.75% of your bond amount, $100 minimum, and no credit check up to $10,000, on the June 30 statutory renewal cycle.

What it is and who needs it.
What the aviation fuel bond actually covers
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, pricing is variable and starts from $100, and no credit check up to $10,000.

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 term is set on the carrier’s application; the premium covers the period shown there.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, June 30, in the year your term ends.
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 DRS. 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.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.75% of the bond amount, $100 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.
