How Does a Kentucky Aviation Gasoline Bond Work?
As with all surety bonds, an aviation gasoline bond creates a legal contract between three parties:
- Principal: You, the fuel seller or company filing the bond
- Obligee: The Kentucky DOR’s Motor Fuels Tax Compliance Section requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for paying state taxes and upholding license regulations.
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?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your aviation gasoline bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
