What the auctioneer bond actually covers
Minnesota licenses auctioneers at the county level under Minn. Stat. 330.02. Before making sales, every auctioneer gives a corporate surety bond to the county, and the bond is filed with — and endorsed by — the county treasurer.
The bond is a conduct-and-payment guarantee: it backs your compliance with the statutes governing auctioneers and the payment of all monies you owe in the course of conducting sales. If you fail to and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
The amount is fixed by the county treasurer, in a penal sum of not less than $1,000 nor more than $3,000. Because it varies by county, you enter the figure your treasurer set and we issue the bond at a flat 3% — the $275 minimum covers the entire statutory range.
