What it is and who needs it.
What the fuels-tax bond actually covers
Nebraska licenses motor fuels suppliers, distributors, and related parties through the Department of Revenue under the Nebraska fuels-tax statutes (Neb. Rev. Stat. ch. 66). New licensees must post a surety bond for at least the first year of the license as security for the fuels tax they collect and remit.
The amount is at least three times your anticipated monthly motor fuels-tax liability, with a $20,000 minimum for motor fuels. (An aircraft-fuels license carries a $10,000 minimum, and compressed-fuel retailers a $1,000 minimum — confirm the figure on your application.) The bond is filed as a rider on form 70XN.
After the first year, if your account is in good standing, the Department may allow the bond to be canceled — so for many licensees this is a first-year requirement, not a permanent one. We issue the amount the state requires with premiums from $150.

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
File with the Department of Revenue. Submit the executed bond (rider form 70XN) with your motor fuels license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.75% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
