Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024
The Size and Weight Permit Division may authorize monthly
billing accounts for individuals, companies, and corporations to defer payment
of special permits issued for oversize and overweight vehicles. A monthly
billing account will be established in accordance with the following
provisions:
(1)
Posting of
bond.
(A) A bond must be posted in an
amount sufficient to cover the monthly billing. The minimum amount of such bond
shall be Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00).
(B) The bonding company must be approved by
the Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner to do business in Oklahoma and maintain
such approval during the term of the bond.
(C) The bond must be on a form prepared by
the Department of Transportation. The completed original form must be submitted
to the Department of Transportation for final approval. The form may be
obtained by contacting the Size and Weight Permit Division of the Department of
Transportation.
(D) The surety
company must notify the Department of Transportation by written notice a
minimum of thirty (30) days prior to cancellation or reduction of the amount of
coverage and state the effective date of the change in coverage. The surety
company shall send the notice by certified mail to the Size and Weight Permit
Division.
(E) It is the
responsibility of the company holding the bond to give the monthly billing
account number only to persons qualified to use the account. Establishing an
account implies full agreement to the terms of the account and any related
activities thereof. Sharing your password with anyone, is a violation of our
agreement, as it may compromise the account holder's confidential information
and could result in outside charges on your account for which you will be
responsible and liable. The charges incurred on your account are the
responsibility of the owner as described in the profile, no matter who makes
the actual charge. Once the bond has been approved by the Department of
Transportation, notification of the monthly billing account number will be
given. Information concerning accounts may be obtained by calling (405)
522-9004 or 405-522-2290.
(2)
Payment of account. Each
monthly billing account will be invoiced at the first of each month. Payment
must be received by the Department of Transportation at 200 N.E. 21 st Street,
Oklahoma City, OK, 73105 by the fifteenth (15th) day of the invoice month.
Accounts which are not paid will not be issued permits until the account is
paid. Accounts not paid by the twenty-second (22nd) day of the invoice month
can no longer purchase permits regardless of payment method. Accounts not paid
by the first (1st) of the following month will be sent to the bonding company
for collection. The Department of Transportation may close any account for
which the deferred payment is habitually delinquent.
