What is a New York Auctioneer Bond?

Know the importance of this surety bond and how to get one!

Auctioneers greatly affect how an auction is conducted and its outcome. They increase the crowd’s excitement, as well as the amount of the item at every auction.

 

Their vital importance is undeniable, but to perform their duties, they must first submit a surety bond.

 

Both the City of New York and the City of Jamestown require auctioneers to procure a surety bond as part of the license requirement.

 

Apart from ensuring the compliance of the auctioneer to the laws and rules, the surety bond will also serve as a financial guarantee that the bonded auctioneer has the capability to compensate any individual that will be harmed by his or her misconduct or violation.

 

The requirement complies with Section 20-279 of the New York City Administrative Code and Section 101-3 of the City of Jamestown Code.
