The City of Warren requires an auctioneer to execute a $2,500 surety bond, approved by the city attorney, before the City Clerk's office will issue an auctioneer license. Ours is $100 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price.
















A city auctioneer bond is about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no long form.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Warren auctioneer license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Warren's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 8, licenses auctioneers who conduct sales within the city. Section 8-25 requires the applicant to execute a $2,500 surety bond, approved by the city attorney, before the City Clerk's office issues the license.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Warren (the obligee), with buyers, sellers, and the city as the protected parties. If a licensed auctioneer's conduct violates Warren's ordinances or causes covered harm, a claim can be made against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay active for the life of your license, so we track the term and send renewal reminders so your license doesn't lapse.
These are the actual issuing fields — a short business form, no financials.
