The Oregon Highway Use Tax Bond is required by the State of Oregon Department of Transportation. Executed under ORS Chapter 825, the bond assures payment of fees, taxes, interest and penalties imposed upon a carrier. The bond states that the bondholder shall unconditional promise to pay the sums due now and those to become due.
Who needs to get an Oregon Highway Use Tax Bond?
Commercial carriers, operating vehicles on public roads, and weighing over 26,000 pounds must report and pay highway use taxes. The Department of Transportation requires carriers to file a bond as a guarantee of payment.
