About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the LP-gas dealer bond actually covers

Michigan regulates liquefied petroleum gas (propane) storage and handling through LARA's Bureau of Fire Services under the Fire Prevention Code and the LP-gas provisions of state law. An LP-gas dealer generally must demonstrate financial responsibility to be licensed.

If a dealer cannot otherwise satisfy the department as to financial responsibility, the dealer files a cash or surety bond payable to the state. By statute the bond is not less than $500 and not more than $5,000 — a small bond compared with most license bonds, which is why nearly every LP-gas dealer bond lands at our $275 minimum premium.

It is a public-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance as a dealer; if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond runs for the term the department requires. Enter the figure you were given and we issue at a flat 3% (or the $275 minimum) with no credit check.

Michigan Fire Prevention Code — LP-gas dealer financial responsibilityUnder Michigan's LP-gas dealer provisions (administered by LARA's Bureau of Fire Services), an applicant who cannot otherwise satisfy the department as to financial responsibility must file a cash or surety bond payable to the state in an amount not less than $500.00 nor more than $5,000.00. Confirm the exact amount and form requirements with the Bureau of Fire Services on your dealer application.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Michigan LP-gas dealer bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. Because the statutory bond runs only $500 to $5,000, 3% never reaches the minimum — so virtually every LP-gas dealer bond is the $275 minimum premium.
Do all LP-gas dealers need this bond? +
No. A dealer who can otherwise satisfy the Bureau of Fire Services as to financial responsibility may not need a bond at all. The bond is the route for dealers who cannot otherwise demonstrate that responsibility.
Why is the bond amount so small? +
The statute caps the LP-gas dealer bond at $5,000 (with a $500 floor). It is one of the smaller license bonds Michigan requires, which keeps the premium at our $275 minimum.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the LP-gas dealer bond is issued with no credit pull.
Where do I file it? +
With LARA's Bureau of Fire Services, payable to the state, alongside your LP-gas dealer license application. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
