GA auctioneer bonds.
$275. Five minutes.

Georgia's auctioneer regulation no longer carries a statewide bond mandate — the statutory requirement was repealed in 1989. A $5,000 auctioneer or apprentice bond today is generally a contractual, client, or local requirement. We issue it at the $275 flat minimum, no credit check.

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Commission under O.C.G.A. Title 43, Chapter 6 — but the statutory surety bond provision (O.C.G.A. § 43-6-15) was repealed effective July 1, 1989.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 the $275 flat minimum with no credit check — and 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O.C.G.A. § 43-6-15 (repealed 1989)Georgia auctioneers are licensed by the Georgia Auctioneers Commission under O.C.G.A. Title 43, Chapter 6, but the chapter's surety bond requirement (former O.C.G.A. § 43-6-15) was repealed effective July 1, 1989 and the section is now reserved.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.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

Does Georgia require an auctioneer bond? +
Not as a current statewide licensing mandate — the statutory bond provision (O.C.G.A. § 43-6-15) was repealed in 1989. A $5,000 auctioneer or apprentice bond today is generally a contractual, client, or local requirement. Confirm with whoever asked for it.
How much is it? +
At the $5,000 amount, 3% is $150 — below our $275 minimum — so the bond is $275, the same for everyone. If you were asked for a larger amount, send us the figure and the price is a flat 3% of it.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount bonds like this one don't need one.
What does the bond protect against? +
It protects whoever required it against losses if you mishandle sale proceeds or breach the engagement the bond backs. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you.
What if I'm asked for a different amount? +
Send us the requirement. Because there is no current statewide statutory figure, we issue whatever amount your client, contract, or jurisdiction names — at a flat 3%, with the same $275 minimum.
