What it is and who needs it.
What the Yonkers auctioneer bond guarantees
An auctioneer license bond is a consumer-protection guarantee to the City. Yonkers wants assurance that a licensed auctioneer will run sales honestly — account for proceeds, deliver goods, and follow the City auctioneer ordinance.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Yonkers (the obligee), with buyers and consignors as the protected parties. If an auctioneer mishandles proceeds or violates the ordinance, a harmed party can recover against the $5,000 bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the City can suspend your auctioneer license — so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
