What is a Minnesota Auctioneer Bond?

As required by Minnesota Statute 330.02, all auctioneers must furnish a corporate surety bond to the county. The bond amount or coverage is set by the county treasurer and typically ranges between $1,000 to $3,000. The bond ensures that the auctioneer will comply with all applicable guidelines and statutes, and pay all monies as lawfully required by the state of Minnesota. Surety Bonds Direct is approved and fully authorized to issue Auctioneer Bonds in Minnesota. Once the official corporate surety bond is received, it shall be filed in the treasurer's office.
