What it is and who needs it.
What the fuel tax bond actually covers
New Mexico taxes motor fuel through the Taxation and Revenue Department — the gasoline tax under NMSA 1978 Chapter 7, Article 13 and the special fuel (diesel, biodiesel, kerosene) supplier tax under Article 16A. Rack operators, importers, suppliers, and distributors are required to register and, in most cases, to post a surety bond standing behind the tax they collect.
The bond is a tax guarantee, payable to the State of New Mexico. The Department sets the amount — typically enough to cover roughly two calendar quarters of your estimated tax liability — so it scales with your fuel volume. If you fail to remit, the state can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Department named at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull; the pull informs approval, never the price.
