About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the fuel bond actually covers

Nevada taxes motor fuel under NRS Chapter 365 and special fuel under NRS Chapter 366, administered by the DMV's Motor Carrier Division. A licensed fuel supplier, dealer, manufacturer, or user files a surety bond conditioned on the faithful performance of the chapter and the punctual payment of all fuel excise taxes, penalties, and interest owed to the State of Nevada.

The bond is filed on the DMV's MC 035 (Surety Bond to Secure Performance under NRS Chapters 360A, 365, 366 & 590), payable to the State of Nevada. The amount is set by the DMV from your estimated taxable gallons, and by statute it cannot be less than $2,500.

If you collect or owe fuel tax and fail to remit, the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. This page is the individual / sole proprietor version; companies file the same bond as a corporation or partnership.

NRS 365 / 366 (DMV, form MC 035)Nevada fuel suppliers, dealers, manufacturers, and users are licensed by the DMV under NRS Chapters 365 (motor vehicle fuel) and 366 (special fuel).
