While there are no state licenses for Iowa Auctioneers, you may be required to produce an Iowa Auctioneer Bond to receive a license to act as an auctioneer in a municipality (county / city).  Please fill out this application for your required municipality bond.
 

Bonds Express offers an Iowa Auctioneer Bond with a 99% approval rate.

A surety bond protects the party requesting the bond, the Obligee, against any financial losses as a result of poor financial decisions, damages, unethical decisions, or a failure to follow state and local laws on the part of you, the Principal. The Iowa Auctioneer Bond holds you accountable for your business decisions. 

By possessing an Iowa Auctioneer Bond, you are telling your Obligee that you can be trusted as a Principal and that you stand behind your business decisions.
