What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Louisiana Auctioneers Licensing Board licenses both individual auctioneers and auction businesses. The board conditions an auction business license on a $25,000 surety bond filed in the form it approves — a larger figure than the $10,000 bond a single auctioneer posts.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Louisiana for the use of harmed buyers and sellers (the protected parties). If an auction business violates the auctioneer law or mishandles sale proceeds, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. A Louisiana-licensed resident auctioneer who has already posted a performance bond may be able to run an auction business without a second bond, so confirm your situation with the board before you buy.
