The bond the Mississippi Department of Revenue can require from a petroleum distributor as a financial guarantee for the fuel taxes it collects — gasoline, special fuel, lubricating oil, and compressed gas. The Department sets the amount; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

Mississippi licenses petroleum distributors through the Department of Revenue. Under the fuel-tax laws — chiefly Miss. Code §27-55-7 (gasoline) and §27-59-7 (special fuel, lubricating oil, and compressed gas) — the Department can require a distributor to post a surety bond before issuing or continuing a permit.
The bond is payable to the State of Mississippi and guarantees that the distributor pays the fuel taxes, interest, penalties, and fees it owes. The statutes let the Department size the bond to the applicant — sources commonly cite a range from $1,000 up, with the exact figure set on your permit or notice. A cash bond is allowed in lieu of surety.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the state on unremitted tax, you repay the surety. Distributors who file and remit on time treat the bond as a permit formality — we issue the amount the Department set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Department of Revenue set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
