How Does a Maryland Motor Fuel Dealer, User, or Seller Tax Bond Work? 

As with all surety bonds, a fuel tax bond creates a legal contract between three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the fuel seller or company filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Comptroller of Maryland requiring the bond
  3. 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 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.
