What it is and who needs it.
What the special fuel fleet dealer bond covers
Louisiana taxes special fuels — compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) used in motor vehicles — separately from gasoline and diesel, under R.S. 47:818.101 et seq. A special fuel fleet dealer is, per the Department of Revenue, a person who produces or purchases CNG, LNG, or LPG, maintains storage for it, and delivers it into the fuel supply tank of a motor vehicle.
Special fuel dealers are licensed by the Department of Revenue and must furnish a bond as part of the license application. The bond backs the special fuels excise tax you collect or owe.
Unlike the gasoline/diesel licenses, the Revised Statutes do not fix a single dollar figure for every special fuel dealer in one widely quoted line — the amount is set on your license, commonly tracking a tax-liability formula. We issue whatever amount the Department names on your notice; pricing runs from $100 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 special fuel dealer license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
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.
