What this bond does
The application says the original bond must accompany the filing. Buying security is one part of that application, not the Division's approval of the applicant's qualifications.
- Who needs it
- An auctioneer license applicant, including a firm, partnership, association or corporation using the application's business-entity fields.
- Who it protects
- Use the State's accepted bond condition to identify protected claims. The application's financial-interest disclosures and recommendations are separate licensing requirements, not a promise that the bond insures the business's property or every loss.

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
Must the applicant always be an individual?
No. The posted application has additional fields and an authorized-officer signature for a firm, partnership, association or corporation. Match the real license file.
Is an online payment receipt the required original bond?
No. The application calls for the original bond to accompany the filing. Obtain the issued document and confirm any alternative delivery arrangement with the Division.
Does this choice specify a one-year or two-year term?
The catalog choice has no labeled term. Confirm the dates needed for the actual license filing with the Division and RLI rather than inferring a duration from the license name.
