Indiana Gasoline Distributor's License Bond
Overview
Gasoline distributors operating in Indiana are required by the state to carry a surety bond before they can receive or renew their distributor's license. This bond guarantees that your business will comply with Indiana's fuel distribution regulations, including proper tax reporting and payment obligations. Regulators and the public are protected if you fail to meet those requirements — and you stay licensed to operate.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've been told you need this bond because Indiana requires it as a condition of your gasoline distributor's license. If you're purchasing, receiving, or distributing gasoline at the wholesale level within the state, this bond applies to you. It doesn't matter whether you're a first-time applicant or renewing — the bond must be active for your license to remain valid. This is a statewide requirement issued through Indiana's licensing authority.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the State of Indiana by ensuring that licensed gasoline distributors fulfill their legal and financial obligations — particularly those related to fuel excise tax collection and remittance. If a distributor fails to pay taxes owed or violates the terms of their license, the bond provides a financial remedy for the state. It is not liability insurance for your customers or business operations; it is a compliance guarantee made to your regulator.
When is it Required?
Before your Indiana gasoline distributor's license is issued or renewed, this bond must already be in place. The state will not process your application without confirmed bond coverage. Plan to secure the bond first, then submit it as part of your licensing package. Any gap in coverage between terms can trigger a lapse in your license authority.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Indiana requirement — it applies to gasoline distributors operating anywhere within Indiana's borders. There is no local or county variation; all licensed distributors in the state are subject to the same bonding obligation. Your bond must remain current for as long as you hold an active gasoline distributor's license in Indiana.
