About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the LP-gas dealer bond actually covers

Michigan regulates liquefied petroleum gas (propane) storage and handling through LARA's Bureau of Fire Services under the Fire Prevention Code and the LP-gas provisions of state law. An LP-gas dealer generally must demonstrate financial responsibility to be licensed.

If a dealer cannot otherwise satisfy the department as to financial responsibility, the dealer files a cash or surety bond payable to the state. By statute the bond is not less than $500 and not more than $5,000 — a small bond compared with most license bonds, which is why nearly every LP-gas dealer bond prices at or near our $100 minimum.

It is a public-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance as a dealer; if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond runs for the term the department requires. Enter the figure you were given and see your exact price at the application — pricing starts from $100, with no credit section on the standard application.

Michigan Fire Prevention Code — LP-gas dealer financial responsibilityUnder Michigan's LP-gas dealer provisions (administered by LARA's Bureau of Fire Services), an applicant who cannot otherwise satisfy the department as to financial responsibility must file a cash or surety bond payable to the state in an amount not less than $500.00 nor more than $5,000.00. Confirm the exact amount and form requirements with the Bureau of Fire Services on your dealer application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Michigan LP-gas dealer bond?Pricing is variable, starting from $100. Because the statutory bond runs only $500 to $5,000, virtually every LP-gas dealer bond prices at or near our $100 minimum.
Do all LP-gas dealers need this bond?No. A dealer who can otherwise satisfy the Bureau of Fire Services as to financial responsibility may not need a bond at all. The bond is the route for dealers who cannot otherwise demonstrate that responsibility.
Why is the bond amount so small?The statute caps the LP-gas dealer bond at $5,000 (with a $500 floor). It is one of the smaller license bonds Michigan requires, which keeps the premium at or near our $100 minimum.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — the LP-gas dealer bond has no credit section.
Where do I file it?With LARA's Bureau of Fire Services, payable to the state, alongside your LP-gas dealer license application. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
