State Laws and Regulations

Alternative Fuel Labeling Requirement

Effective August 1, 2007, alternative fuels must be labeled at the retail dispensing unit with the price, name, and main components of the alternative fuel or alternative fuel blend. The labeling must follow established labeling specifications for petroleum-based fuels. A producer of alternative fuels may provide a label promoting the benefits of the alternative fuel if the label meets the requirements specified. Alternative fuel is defined as a fuel used in an engine or vehicle other than a petroleum-based fuel. (Reference House Bill 1121, 2007, and North Dakota Century Code 19-10-03.3)

Alternative Fuel Tax Rates

A special excise tax rate of 2% is imposed on the sale of propane and a tax of $0.04 per gallon is imposed on all sales of diesel fuel and other special fuels previously exempted. (Reference House Bill 1348, 2007, and North Dakota Century Code 57-43.2-02 and 57-43.2-03)
