What it is and who needs it.
What the fuel bond actually covers
South Carolina taxes motor fuels through a user fee under S.C. Code Title 12, Chapter 28, and licenses the businesses that sell, deal in, or manufacture that fuel through the Department of Revenue. As financial security for the fees they collect, most licensees must post a surety bond as a condition of licensure.
Under S.C. Code 12-28-1155, the bond amount is fixed by the director at not less than $2,000 or up to a three-month user-fee liability as estimated by the department. Suppliers and bonded importers face a much higher statutory minimum. The bond stands behind the user fees you owe — if you fail to remit, the State can recover against it.
The statute also lets a licensee submit a statement of assets and liabilities; if the department judges the licensee’s property sufficient to protect the State, no bond is required (S.C. Code 12-28-2520). When a bond is required, we issue the amount the department set at a price starting from $100 — the application collects no credit information.
