What it is and who needs it.
What the supplier bond actually covers
New Jersey taxes motor fuel under the Motor Fuel Tax Act (N.J.S.A. 54:39-101 et seq.), administered by the Division of Taxation. A licensed supplier — the party that holds fuel in the terminal system and is responsible for the tax as it moves — must post a bond securing the tax it collects and remits.
The bond is a tax guarantee: it stands behind your faithful performance of the duties in the Act, principally the timely and full payment of motor fuel tax. The Division sizes the bond to your liability — in practice often around three times your greatest monthly tax over the preceding twelve months — so it scales with your volume.
If you fail to remit, the Division can recover the shortfall against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Division set, pricing from $100 — 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 with your supplier license or registration. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Division insists on them.
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.
One short form to submit.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Division of Taxation set — most issue quickly, with larger supplier bonds getting a short underwriter review.
