What this bond does
The bond concerns proper accounting, payment and delivery of money or property entrusted to the auctioneer. The Clerk's license process and the surety's issuance are separate steps.
- Who needs it
- An applicant for an auctioneer license under Cecil County's chapter, not someone assuming a different Maryland county uses the same request.
- Who it protects
- The County chapter describes protection for a person, firm or corporation dealing with the auctioneer, conditioned on proper accounting, payment and delivery of entrusted money or property. It is not property insurance for the auctioneer.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.
