Petroleum Product Delivery Fee
The State of Texas assesses this fee on the delivery of a petroleum product removed from a bulk storage facility for distribution or sale within the state.
Fee Rates
This fee is based on the capacity of the tank or vessel into which the petroleum product is delivered:
| Capacity of Receiving Tank | Fee |
|---|---|
| <2,500 gallons | $1.70 |
| ≥2,500 gallons, but <5,000 gallons | $3.45 |
| ≥5,000 gallons, but <8,000 gallons | $5.45 |
| ≥8,000 gallons, but <10,000 gallons | $6.95 |
| ≥10,000 gallons | $3.45 for each increment of 5,000 gallons |

Background
HB 7, 84th Legislature, required the TCEQ to adjust the petroleum product delivery fee rates to collect revenue in amounts not to exceed appropriations, less any amounts used for monitoring and remediation of releases occurring on or before Dec. 22, 1998. To meet the legislative requirement, the TCEQ implemented a fee rate reduction of 37 percent. The agency published the new rates in the Aug. 28, 2015, publication of the Texas Register.
