About this bond

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.
