What it is and who needs it.
What the fuel tax bond actually covers
Oklahoma taxes motor fuel under the Motor Fuel Tax Code, 68 O.S. § 500.1 et seq., administered by the Oklahoma Tax Commission. Suppliers, importers, and blenders that handle gasoline, diesel, and blending materials post a bond, filed on form BT-170, to guarantee the excise tax, penalties, and interest they owe.
The Commission sets the amount based on your fuel tax liability and can review your financial responsibility and adjust the required bond — increasing it, requiring further assurance, or revising eligibility for deferred payment. When your volume or status changes, the required amount can change with it.
The bond stands behind the fuel tax you collect or owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it. A licensee can post a surety bond, a cash deposit, or a certificate of deposit; the surety bond is usually cheapest, since you pay a premium rather than tying up the full amount. We issue the amount the Commission set, with pricing at 1% of that amount and a $100 minimum.

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 Tax Commission. Submit the executed bond on form BT-170 to satisfy the Oklahoma Tax Commission. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state 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.
