What is a Wyoming Taxable Fuel Bond?

The Wyoming Department of Transportation requires each fuel supplier, refiner, distributor, terminal operator, importer, and exporter of fuel (gasoline, diesel fuel, and alternative fuel) to post a surety bond as part of the license condition.

 

The requirement is adopted from § 39-17 of the Wyoming Code Annotated.

 

What is the bond amount?

The bond amount should be $50,000 or the equivalent of the licensee’s tax liability for 6 months, whichever is greater.

 

Those who have excellent credit scores may qualify for a very low bond premium or just 1% of the bond amount!
