What it is and who needs it.
What the motor fuel bond actually covers
Michigan taxes motor fuel under the Motor Fuel Tax Act (Act 403 of 2000), administered by the Department of Treasury. Under MCL 207.1058, most license applicants are not automatically required to post a bond — but the department may require a surety bond or cash deposit whenever it considers one necessary to ensure payment of a licensee's tax liability.
For the largest roles — suppliers, terminal operators, and bonded importers — the act sets a high floor (generally a $2,000,000 annual bond, reducible to $1,000,000 for federal motor fuel registrants), and proof of substantial net worth can stand in for the bond. For other licensees, the amount is whatever the department sets based on your liability.
The bond names the state as obligee and stands behind the fuel tax you owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it. It is not insurance for you; if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount Treasury set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
