About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the blender bond actually covers

Alabama taxes motor fuel under the Terminal Excise Tax Act (Code of Alabama Title 40, Chapter 17, Article 12). A blender combines products to make motor fuel outside the bulk transfer / terminal system — and because blending is a taxable event, the blender pays the tax and the Department of Revenue requires a bond standing behind it.

Under §40-17-335, a blender’s bond is set at a minimum of $2,000, or approximately twice the average monthly tax liability, whichever is greater. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Department of Revenue (the obligee). If a blender fails to remit, the state recovers against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the state, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Department named — premiums from $100, with your exact price shown at the application. The application collects no credit information.
