How Does a Connecticut Motor Fuel Tax Bond Work? 

A motor fuel tax bond creates a legal contract between these three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the fuel distributor filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Connecticut Department of Revenue Services requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually on June 30. To renew your motor fuel tax bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
