What it is and who needs it.
What the fuel tax bond actually covers
Oregon licenses dealers in motor vehicle fuel and sellers and users of use fuel through the ODOT Fuels Tax Group under ORS 319.010 to 319.880. The license is conditioned on a fuel tax bond that guarantees all applicable state taxes, fees, and penalties.
ODOT sets the amount at twice the estimated monthly tax for the dealer, seller, or user — so if your monthly tax runs about $3,000, the bond is roughly $6,000. The range runs from a $1,000 minimum up to $250,000, and can go higher if ODOT takes disciplinary action.
The bond stands behind the fuel tax you collect or owe — if you fail to remit, ODOT can recover against it. The surety can be released only after 60 days’ written notice to the department. Enter the amount ODOT set and we issue it on ODOT form 1322; premiums start from $100, with no credit check up to $10,000 in the application.

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 ODOT Fuels Tax Group. Submit the executed bond (ODOT form 1322) with your fuel license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever ODOT insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.75% 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.
