About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the special fuel retail dealer bond covers

Louisiana taxes special fuels — CNG, LNG, and LPG used in motor vehicles — under R.S. 47:818.101 et seq. A special fuel retail dealer sells those fuels at retail, dispensing them into the supply tanks of customers’ vehicles, as distinct from a fleet dealer who fuels only its own vehicles.

Special fuel dealers are licensed by the Department of Revenue and must furnish a bond as part of the license application. The bond backs the special fuels excise tax collected at the pump.

The Revised Statutes do not fix a single dollar figure for every special fuel retail dealer in one widely quoted line — the amount is set on your license, commonly tracking a tax-liability formula. We issue whatever amount the Department names on your notice; pricing runs from $100 and the application collects no credit information.
