What is an Auctioneer Bond?
All auctioneers in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are mandated to obtain a surety bond as a license requirement.
The surety bond will ensure that the licensed auctioneer will lawfully perform his or her obligations.
This will include keeping a record of all goods and chattels sold by the auctioneer, being liable for the proceeds of the sale which come into the auctioneer’s hands if any, as well as collecting and reporting of sales and taxes for all sales made by the auctioneer.
The surety bond will cover any damages arising from the potential misconduct committed by the licensed auctioneer. This will be used to compensate the aggrieved party.
The surety bond will be submitted to the Deputy Director of the Massachusetts Division of Standards along with the completed application form, a diploma or certificate, recommendation letters from a licensed auctioneer, and a license fee.
