The City of Yonkers, New York requires an auctioneer to file a fixed $5,000 bond with the City to hold an auctioneer license. At 3% the math lands below our floor, so the price is our $275 minimum — flat, the same for every auctioneer.
















City license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
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 and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your auctioneer license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, which falls below our $275 minimum — so the price is $275 flat per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
