LA auctioneer bonds.
$100 flat.
Louisiana requires every licensed auctioneer to file a $10,000 bond with the Auctioneers Licensing Board — ours is $100 flat, the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Louisiana auctioneer bond is a public-protection guarantee. You handle other people's property and money at auction, so the state wants a financial backstop that you'll follow the auctioneer license law and honor your written auction contracts.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Louisiana through the Auctioneers Licensing Board (the obligee), with the public as the protected parties. If an auctioneer commits fraud or breaches an auction contract, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The statute lets an applicant deposit $10,000 in cash or a $10,000 surety bond; the bond is almost always cheaper, since you pay the $100 premium instead of tying up the full amount.
