To license an auctioneer, the City of Oklahoma City requires a $1,000 surety bond filed with the City Clerk. Our carrier's rate book sets this bond at a flat $100 — the same price for every auctioneer, issued instantly. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















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 section, no scavenger hunt.
Small fixed city bonds like this are among the thousands 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 the City of Oklahoma City for your auctioneer license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Oklahoma City licenses auctioneers through the City Clerk's office and conditions that license on a $1,000 surety bond. It's a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your honest handling of goods and proceeds when you conduct auctions inside the city.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Oklahoma City (the obligee), with auction customers as the protected parties. If an auctioneer mishandles a seller's goods or a buyer's money in violation of the city's license terms, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We keep the $1,000 filing continuous and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your city license never lapses over a missed email.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information, so most approvals are instant.
