What this bond does

The bond supports an auction business's compliance with Louisiana auction licensing law and proper handling of covered funds, taxes and registration fees.

Who needs it
Entities applying for or renewing Louisiana auction business licensure, including businesses coordinating a qualifying auctioneer's separate credentials.
Who it protects
The statutory bond is payable to the Louisiana Auctioneers Licensing Board for the benefit of persons suffering covered losses from violations of the licensing chapter.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

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.

Bond the business rather than only the auctioneer

Louisiana's published statutes distinguish the licensed auction business from its individual auctioneer or apprentice. Use the entity's exact license name, business addresses, and qualifying-party information.

The stated business security is $25,000. A nonresident-owned business using reciprocity can face the greater of that amount or the corresponding requirement in the other jurisdiction.

Coordinate calendar-year security and renewal

The statutes place the bond on a calendar-year licensing basis and require it throughout licensure. A new bond or proper continuation certificate is delivered at the beginning of each licensing period.

Cancellation can affect the license if replacement security is not furnished before the cancellation date. Keep the business license, bond and qualifying auctioneer records on a coordinated renewal schedule.

Apply with the board's business-license details

Select Purchase Now for the Louisiana auction business offering. Provide the board's required form, entity identity and amount, including any reciprocity instruction.

Review the executed document and submit it to the board with the remaining licensing materials. The premium is separate from the security amount and license fees.

Questions about this bond

Is the individual auctioneer's $10,000 bond enough?

The published statutes set a separate $25,000 auction business requirement. Match the bond to the license being obtained.

Who receives the bond?

The Louisiana Auctioneers Licensing Board receives the statutory security for the covered beneficiaries.

Does the bond remove accounting duties?

No. Auction proceeds and consignor accounting remain operational and statutory responsibilities.

Can a continuation certificate support renewal?

The statutes provide for a new bond or proper continuation certificate at the beginning of the licensing period.
