What it is and who needs it.
What the fuel bond actually covers
Nevada taxes motor fuel under NRS Chapter 365 and special fuel under NRS Chapter 366, administered by the DMV's Motor Carrier Division. A licensed fuel supplier, dealer, manufacturer, or user files a surety bond conditioned on the faithful performance of the chapter and the punctual payment of all fuel excise taxes, penalties, and interest owed to the State of Nevada.
The bond is filed on the DMV's MC 035 (Surety Bond to Secure Performance under NRS Chapters 360A, 365, 366 & 590), payable to the State of Nevada. The amount is set by the DMV from your estimated taxable gallons, and by statute it cannot be less than $2,500.
If you collect or owe fuel tax and fail to remit, the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. This page is the individual / sole proprietor version; companies file the same bond as a corporation or partnership.

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
E-sign & file with the DMV. Receive the executed bond on form MC 035, ready to file with your fuel license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the DMV insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% 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.
