The bond the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department requires of special fuel suppliers and gasoline distributors as a guarantee for the fuel excise tax they collect. The Department sets the amount — often enough to cover roughly two quarters of tax — and premiums start from $100.

What it is and who needs it.
What the fuel tax bond actually covers
New Mexico taxes motor fuel through the Taxation and Revenue Department — the gasoline tax under NMSA 1978 Chapter 7, Article 13 and the special fuel (diesel, biodiesel, kerosene) supplier tax under Article 16A. Rack operators, importers, suppliers, and distributors are required to register and, in most cases, to post a surety bond standing behind the tax they collect.
The bond is a tax guarantee, payable to the State of New Mexico. The Department sets the amount — typically enough to cover roughly two calendar quarters of your estimated tax liability — so it scales with your fuel volume. If you fail to remit, the state can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Department named starting from $100, with a quick soft credit check that never affects your score; the check informs approval, never the price.
