About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the alternative-fuel bond actually covers

Virginia taxes alternative fuel — fuel other than motor fuel that can power a highway vehicle — under the Virginia Fuels Tax Act, administered by the DMV. A provider of alternative fuel is the licensee who delivers that fuel into a vehicle supply tank or sells it for that use, and is liable for the tax.

When DMV requires security, the bond is filed under Code of Virginia § 58.1-2244 et seq., with the bond requirements in § 58.1-2246. It is conditioned on compliance with the Fuels Tax Act and payable to the Commonwealth — if you fail to remit the alternative-fuel tax you collect or owe, the state can recover against the bond.

The amount is set by DMV and generally tracks your expected monthly tax liability. Not every provider is bonded — DMV requires security based on your account — so confirm the figure on your license notice; pricing starts from $100, and the application collects no credit information at the standard amount.

Code of Virginia § 58.1-2244 et seq. (Fuels Tax Act)Providers of alternative fuel are licensed by the DMV under the Virginia Fuels Tax Act (Code of Virginia § 58.1-2244 et seq.), with bond or certificate-of-deposit requirements at § 58.1-2246. The bond is conditioned on compliance with the Act and payable to the Commonwealth; DMV sets the amount based on expected tax liability. Confirm the amount on your DMV notice — not every provider is required to bond.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Virginia alternative-fuel provider bond?Pricing is 0.75% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The amount itself is set by DMV under the Fuels Tax Act and generally tracks your expected monthly tax liability. Enter the figure on your notice and your exact price appears in the application.
Does every provider need this bond?No. The Fuels Tax Act lets DMV require a bond or certificate of deposit; it is not automatic for every provider. DMV decides based on your account and notifies you of the amount. If you were not asked for one, you likely do not need it.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information at the standard amount, and most applications approve instantly. If a check ever runs for a larger amount, it is a soft pull that never affects your credit score.
Who is the obligee?The Commonwealth of Virginia, through the DMV. The bond is conditioned on your compliance with the Virginia Fuels Tax Act and the payment of the alternative-fuel tax you collect or owe.
Where do I file it?With Virginia DMV, alongside your alternative-fuel license or account. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
