What it is and who needs it.
What the petroleum bond actually covers
Minnesota taxes petroleum and other fuels under Minn. Stat. Chapter 296A, and licenses the distributors who handle them. A licensed distributor collects fuel tax on the product it moves, and the Department of Revenue can require a surety bond as a financial guarantee that the tax is remitted.
The bond stands behind your obligation to pay all petroleum taxes, fees, fines, penalties, damages, and costs the law imposes. If a distributor fails to remit, the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
A bond is not required for every distributor license, and the Department of Revenue determines whether one applies and in what amount, generally tied to your expected tax liability. Enter the figure on your notice and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
