About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the auctioneer bond actually covers

Georgia licenses auctioneers and apprentice auctioneers through the Georgia Auctioneers Commission under O.C.G.A. Title 43, Chapter 6 — but the statutory surety bond provision (O.C.G.A. § 43-6-15) was repealed effective July 1, 1989. So unlike many license bonds, a Georgia auctioneer bond is generally not a current state licensing mandate.

When a Georgia auctioneer is asked for a $5,000 bond today, it is usually a contractual, client, or local requirement — a consignment client, an auction-house agreement, or a local ordinance that conditions work on a surety bond. The bond protects whoever required it against losses from the auctioneer mishandling sale proceeds or breaching the engagement.

Because there is no current statewide statutory figure, the $5,000 amount here reflects the common ask. Enter it and we issue the bond at $100 flat, and no credit check — if your requirement is a different amount, send it to us.

O.C.G.A. § 43-6-15 (repealed 1989)Georgia auctioneers are licensed by the Georgia Auctioneers Commission under O.C.G.A. Title 43, Chapter 6, but the chapter's surety bond requirement (former O.C.G.A. § 43-6-15) was repealed effective July 1, 1989 and the section is now reserved. A $5,000 auctioneer or apprentice bond today is generally a contractual, client, or local requirement rather than a state licensing mandate — confirm the requirement and amount with whoever asked for it.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

Deliver to whoever required it. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to give to the client, contract, or jurisdiction that asked for it. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
