What it is and who needs it.
What the fuel tax bond actually covers
New Jersey taxes motor fuel at the distributor level under the Motor Fuel Tax Act (N.J.S.A. 54:39-101 et seq.), administered by the Division of Taxation. A licensed distributor files reports and remits the tax each month, and the state requires a bond standing behind the faithful performance of those duties.
The bond amount is set by the Division of Taxation on a case-by-case basis — generally three times the greatest amount of tax the distributor was likely to owe in any month over the prior 12 months. It is filed on Form DMF-6 and made payable to the State of New Jersey.
The bond stands behind the fuel tax you collect or owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Division set; premiums start from $125, and no credit check up to $10,000.

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 Division of Taxation. Submit the executed bond on Form DMF-6 to satisfy the Division of Taxation. The original must be signed by the principal before filing; wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, $125 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.
