About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the fuel distributor bond actually covers

Delaware licenses gasoline and special-fuel distributors through the Division of Motor Vehicles' Motor Fuel Tax section under 30 Del. C. ch. 51. A distributor collects fuel-use tax on the fuel it handles, and the state wants a bond standing behind the tax before it is remitted.

The bond is filed with the distributor license application, and the amount is set by the Department from your estimated fuel-tax liability — commonly a multiple of your average monthly liability, subject to the statutory minimum and maximum. If your volume changes, the required amount can be adjusted.

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 DMV set, at a flat 3% with no credit check. Confirm your exact figure on your distributor application before you file.

30 Del. C. ch. 51 (Motor Fuel Tax)Delaware Code Title 30, Chapter 51 conditions a gasoline or special-fuel distributor license on a surety bond filed with the Department, in an amount the Department sets based on the applicant's estimated fuel-tax liability and subject to statutory minimum and maximum limits. Confirm the amount the Division of Motor Vehicles set on your application.
