The premium is 0.75% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — your exact price appears at the application, which collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the distributor bond actually covers
Louisiana licenses participants in the motor fuels supply chain through the Department of Revenue under the motor fuel tax law (R.S. 47:818.1 et seq.). A distributor — broadly, a person who acquires fuel from a supplier or another distributor for distribution within the state — must hold a license and post a bond before doing business.
The bond is a tax guarantee: it stands behind the gasoline and diesel excise tax you collect and owe. R.S. 47:818.40 sets the distributor bond at a minimum of $20,000 or an amount equal to three months’ tax liability, whichever is greater, and the same minimum applies to importer, exporter, blender, and interstate motor fuel user licenses.
It is not insurance for you — if the Department recovers against the bond for unpaid tax, you repay the surety. Distributors who file and remit on time treat the bond as a license formality. We issue the amount the Department set; pricing runs from $100 and the application collects no credit information.
