CT auctioneer bonds.
From $100. Apply in 60 seconds.
Connecticut regulates sales at auction under C.G.S. Chapter 393, and licenses auctioneers at the town level — you must be licensed in the town where the auction is held. When the town requires a surety bond, pricing starts from $100; the application collects no credit information, and most applicants qualify at or near the minimum. Enter the amount your town named and your exact price appears at the application.

The application collects no credit information, and most bonds issue as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review — if a check ever runs, it's a soft pull that won't touch your score.
File with your town
Submit the executed bond to the town clerk or licensing authority where the auction is held. Connecticut wants the license at least three days before the auction, so apply early. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What it is and who needs it.
What the auctioneer bond actually covers
Connecticut governs sales at auction under C.G.S. Chapter 393 (sections 21-1 and following). Unlike most states, Connecticut does not run a single statewide auctioneer license — you must be licensed to conduct business in the town where the auction takes place, and the local licensing authority sets the terms, including any bond.
When a bond is required, it is a buyer-and-seller-protection guarantee: it stands behind your honest conduct of the auction and proper handling of sale proceeds. A common figure is around $10,000, but because licensing is local, confirm the exact amount with the town where you’ll be selling.
Some auctions fall outside the licensing rule — Chapter 393 exempts sales of charcoal, wood, farm products, and secondhand household furniture, and auctions the state conducts under court order. For everything else, enter the amount your town named — pricing starts from $100 and the application collects no credit information.
