What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Mississippi licenses auctioneers and auction firms through the Mississippi Auctioneer Commission and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond under Miss. Code §73-4-29. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee that you conduct auctions honestly and account properly for the money that passes through your hands.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Mississippi (the obligee), with sellers and buyers as the protected parties. If an auctioneer fails to remit sale proceeds or otherwise violates the auctioneering law, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active as a condition of granting and retaining the license. Let it lapse and your license is at risk — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
