How Does an Arizona Motor Fuel Supplier Bond Work?
As with all surety bonds, a motor fuel supplier bond creates a legal contract between three parties:
- Principal: You, the motor fuel supplier filing the bond
- Obligee: The Arizona Department of Transportation requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding ARS Title 28, Chapter 16, Articles 1 and 2.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
This bond expires annually. To renew your motor fuel supplier bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
