What is a Louisiana Auctioneer Bond?

Know why this surety bond matters and how you can immediately get one!

Auctioneers provide more than entertaining rhythmic chants during an auction. Skilled auctioneers can push a simple sale into an extraordinary one by boosting the confidence of the buyers with their charisma and expertise!

 

If you are intending to get into the business of creating that perfect sale as an auctioneer in Louisiana, you need to obtain a surety bond.

 

Anyone who wishes to become an auctioneer in Louisiana is required to apply for a license to the Louisiana Auctioneers Licensing Board. A major requirement for the said license application is a surety bond.

 

The surety bond, by Section 3118 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, will be your way to assure the parties of the auctioneer contract that you have entered into that you will lawfully do your job to the best of your abilities.

 

And if you have failed to perform any of the duties on the contract, you can guarantee that the party who has suffered damages will be compensated through the surety bond.

 

What is the Auctioneer Bond amount?

The bond amount is $20,000.

 

The bond premium will depend on your credit score. If you have an excellent one, you can pay as little as 1% of the bond amount!
