Florida Motor and Special Fuel, Aviation, or Pollutant Tax Bond

How much does a fuel tax bond cost in Florida?

Florida’s Department of Revenue requires motor or special fuel, aviation, or pollutant professionals to post surety bonds in varying amounts prior to conducting business. Applicants should verify their required bond amounts with the state prior to bonding.

Why do I need this bond?

Florida fuel tax bonds ensure that principals (motor fuel, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, pollutants, importers, and alternative fuel professionals) comply with the Florida statutory tax provisions. If the principal fails to pay all sums due to the state on time and in full, the bond protects the state from financial loss up to the full penal sum of the bond. The principal must reimburse the surety for any damages paid out.
