What it is and who needs it.
What the LP-gas bond actually covers
Kansas taxes liquefied petroleum gas (propane) used as a motor fuel under the LP-gas motor fuel tax law, K.S.A. 79-3490 et seq. A business that places LP-gas into the fuel supply tank of a motor vehicle — or runs its own fleet on propane — needs an LP-gas user-dealer license from the Department of Revenue and must post a bond to back the tax.
The bond is a tax guarantee: it stands behind the LP-gas motor fuel tax the user-dealer reports and remits. The Department generally sets the amount at about three months of estimated tax liability, with a statutory minimum of $1,000, so it scales with how much taxable propane you move.
Not every propane business needs it — if all the LP-gas you sell is for home heating or agricultural use, none goes into a vehicle's fuel tank, and none of your delivery vehicles run on propane, the user-dealer license generally is not required. When it is, pricing starts from $100 and no credit check up to $10,000; if the surety pays the state you repay the surety.

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 LP-gas user-dealer license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% 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.
