A tax registration rather than a consumer credential. It exists so the state can administer petroleum business tax, and it covers distributors and resellers.
What this page does not contain
A frozen table of license numbers. A credential status changes between the day this page is built and the day you read it, and a stale status is worse than no status because it invites trust. The register is live and free. This page tells you how to read it.
That refusal is recorded in the revision log alongside the other things this site decided not to publish.
What the credential actually means
This is not a quality credential and it is not a consumer protection scheme. A company can be correctly registered for tax and still be the wrong dealer for you.
The questions a register cannot answer
- What is the delivery minimum, and is there a small delivery charge on top of the per gallon price?
- What is the per gallon rate at 150 gallons and at a full fill, quoted in the same call?
- On automatic delivery, what does the contract say about running out, and who pays for the restart?
- On a prepaid or capped plan, what happens to gallons that are not used by the end of the season?
- Is there a service contract attached, is it optional, and what does it cost separately?
