Indiana Special Fuel License for Supplier Bond
Overview
Suppliers who distribute special fuel in Indiana are required to post this bond as part of their state licensing process. It guarantees that your business will pay all special fuel taxes, fees, and related obligations owed to the Indiana Department of Revenue. Without it, your supplier license application cannot move forward. Bond Titan makes it simple to get bonded online today.
Who Needs This Bond?
Fuel wholesalers, petroleum distributors, and terminal operators who sell or distribute special fuel — such as diesel — in Indiana at the supplier level are the primary applicants for this bond. If you have been directed by the Indiana Department of Revenue to obtain a Special Fuel Supplier License, this bond is a mandatory part of that application. Any entity that imports, blends, or sells special fuel in bulk quantities at the supplier tier in Indiana falls within this requirement.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the State of Indiana by ensuring that licensed special fuel suppliers fulfill their tax payment obligations. If your business fails to remit the special fuel excise taxes it collects or owes, the bond provides a financial remedy for the state. It is a tax compliance guarantee, not general liability coverage — its sole function is to back your obligation to pay Indiana special fuel taxes on time and in full.
When is it Required?
Before the Indiana Department of Revenue approves your Special Fuel Supplier License, you will be asked to provide proof of this bond. It is required at the point of license application or renewal — not after approval. If you are adding a new license classification or reactivating a lapsed supplier license, the bond must be in place before the state will process your paperwork.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Indiana requirement administered by the Indiana Department of Revenue. It applies to all supplier-level special fuel activity conducted within the state of Indiana, regardless of where your business is headquartered. There is no local or county-level equivalent — this is a state licensing obligation.
