What it is and who needs it.
What the IFTA bond actually covers
Kansas participates in the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA), which lets interstate motor carriers report and pay fuel-use tax through a single base-state license administered by the Department of Revenue. Most carriers never need a bond — but the Department can require one as a financial guarantee.
A bond is typically required when a licensee files late, fails to remit tax, or an audit indicates a guarantee is warranted. When required, the Kansas bond is generally set at four quarters of estimated tax liability, with a $1,000 minimum — the Department names the figure on your notice.
The bond stands behind the fuel tax you collect or owe — 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; premiums start from $100 and your exact price appears at the application.

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 to satisfy the Department of Revenue and reinstate or maintain your IFTA 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.
