About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the aviation fuel bond actually covers

Connecticut administers its fuels tax through the Department of Revenue Services under Title 12, Chapter 221. Before issuing or renewing a dealer license, DRS requires the dealer to file and maintain a surety bond as security for the tax the dealer is responsible for collecting and remitting.

Aviation fuel has its own treatment in Connecticut's fuels-tax law, but the bonding mechanism is the same: the bond stands behind the dealer's tax obligation, so the state can recover unpaid fuels tax against it. The amount is set by DRS based on your expected liability.

These bonds run on the state's fuel-tax year and are subject to statutory renewal each June 30 — DRS typically circulates renewal paperwork in the spring. Whatever amount DRS sets, pricing is variable and starts from $100, and the application collects no credit information.

CGS Title 12, Chapter 221 (Motor Vehicle Fuels Tax)Connecticut licenses and bonds fuels distributors and dealers through the Department of Revenue Services under Title 12, Chapter 221 (including CGS 12-455a and 12-456), which require a surety bond as a condition of the license in an amount set by the commissioner. Aviation fuel has distinct tax treatment within the chapter; confirm your required bond amount on the DRS form, and note bonds renew on the June 30 fuel-tax-year cycle.
