What this bond does
Chapter 72 requires a County auctioneer license from the Department of Inspections, Licenses and Permits and $5,000 security filed with the County before issuance. The bond is for the County's use and benefit or that of a person dealing with the auctioneer.
- Who needs it
- An auctioneer preparing a Harford County license application or annual renewal. Match the actual applicant and County request rather than borrowing another Maryland county's filing instructions.
- Who it protects
- The condition is proper accounting, payment and delivery of money or property entrusted to the auctioneer's care and possession. It is not the auctioneer's own property or business-income insurance.

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.

Questions about this bond
Is the condition only payment of a license charge?
No. Chapter 72 describes proper accounting, payment and delivery of entrusted money or property. Use that security condition rather than a generic fee-payment instrument.
Can I use another Maryland county's office or form?
Do not assume it is accepted. Harford's code identifies its County licensing department and requires County security. Obtain the actual Harford filing directions and instrument.
Does July renewal select the provider's bond duration?
No. It describes the County license-renewal schedule. This catalog choice displays no selectable term; check the actual issued dates and the County's request before filing.
