The bond the Colorado Department of Revenue can require from an IFTA licensee or fuel distributor as a financial guarantee for the tax it collects. The state sets the amount — file it on form DR 0300 — and the premium is 2% of that amount, with a $100 minimum; your exact price appears at the application.
















No underwriting queue for the standard fuel tax bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the Department of Revenue. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the state required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
Most applications approve instantly and the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. If a check ever runs, it is a soft pull only — never a hard inquiry. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond on form DR 0300 to satisfy the Department of Revenue. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists on them.
Colorado participates in the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) under C.R.S. 39-27-301 et seq., which lets interstate motor carriers report and pay fuel-use tax through a single base-state license. Most carriers never need a bond — but the Department of Revenue can require one as a financial guarantee.
A bond is typically required when a licensee files late, fails to remit tax, or an account review indicates a guarantee is warranted. The same applies to gasoline and special fuel distributors. When required, the bond is generally twice the estimated average net tax liability for the quarterly reporting period.
The bond stands behind the fuel tax you collect or owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it. We issue the amount the Department of Revenue set, with pricing from $100 and the application collecting no credit information, on the form the state names (DR 0300 for IFTA, DR 7065 for distributors).
Submit the application with the bond amount the Department of Revenue set — your exact price is confirmed there, and the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay.
