Who Needs This Bond?
Fuel wholesalers selling diesel, biodiesel, or other special fuels to retailers or end-users in Connecticut, importers bringing special fuel into the state for distribution, and businesses operating as licensed special fuel distributors under Connecticut's fuel tax program all need this bond. If you've applied for or hold a special fuel distributor license with the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services, this bond is part of the package. It's required before the state will recognize you as an active licensed distributor.
What is this Bond For?
Connecticut requires special fuel distributors to post this bond to guarantee that all fuel excise taxes owed to the state will actually be paid. If a distributor fails to remit taxes, the bond gives the Department of Revenue Services a direct financial remedy — they can make a claim against the bond to recover what's owed. This protects the state's fuel tax revenue stream and ensures only financially accountable businesses operate as distributors. It is not insurance for your business; it's a guarantee to the state.
When is it Required?
When you submit your special fuel distributor license application to the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services, the bond requirement comes up as a condition of approval. You won't receive your license — or be authorized to distribute special fuel — until proof of bond is on file with the state. Renewals may also require a current, active bond. Have this bond ready before you finalize your application to avoid delays.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Connecticut requirement administered by the Department of Revenue Services. It covers your activity as a special fuel distributor anywhere in Connecticut. There is no local or municipal component — this is a state-level obligation.
