What it is and who needs it.
What the supplier bond actually covers
A motor fuel supplier or permissive supplier sits at the top of the fuel supply chain — typically at the terminal rack, where the tax is precollected. Because that's where the largest tax dollars move, Missouri requires a substantially larger bond from suppliers than from ordinary distributors, under §142.884 RSMo.
The bond is sized to three months' potential tax liability based on the gallons handled, with a statutory floor of $100,000 and ceiling of $2,000,000. The Director estimates the gallons and sets the amount. A supplier can reduce or waive the requirement by demonstrating net worth — broadly, $5 million net worth waives the full bond, with partial relief at lower thresholds.
The bond guarantees the precollected fuel tax reaches the state. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Department set; pricing starts from $1,200 with a soft credit pull, and larger amounts get an underwriter review.

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

What sets the price
