What it is and who needs it.
What the fuel distributor bond actually covers
Georgia licenses motor fuel distributors through the Department of Revenue under O.C.G.A. § 48-9-4, and conditions the license on a surety bond. The bond is a tax guarantee: it stands behind the motor fuel taxes you collect and owe to the state.
The amount is three times the average monthly motor fuel taxes due during the preceding 12 months, with a floor of $1,000 and a cap of $150,000. The bond is continuous, and each year is a separate obligation while it is in force.
The bond is conditioned on timely filing of true reports and payment of all fuel taxes, penalties, and interest. If you fail to remit, the state can recover against it — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Department of Revenue set; pricing is 0.75% of that bond amount, $100 minimum, 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 premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
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 the Department of Revenue. Submit the executed bond with your motor fuel distributor license. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists on them.
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.
