What it is and who needs it.
What the diesel fuel tax bond actually covers
Florida taxes diesel (special) fuel under Chapter 206, Part IV, F.S., administered by the Department of Revenue with Rule Chapter 12B-5, F.A.C. Terminal suppliers and wholesalers must file security so the state is guaranteed the diesel tax collected before it is remitted.
Section 206.90, F.S. sets the bond for terminal suppliers and wholesalers at a penal sum of not more than $300,000, calculated as approximately three times the combined average monthly tax levied during the preceding 12 calendar months. A surety bond is one accepted form of security, alongside an assigned time deposit or an irrevocable letter of credit.
The bond stands behind the tax you collect — if you fail to remit, the Department can recover against it, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Department set; pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. A quick soft credit check may apply, and it never affects your score.
