Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

At the ASAA we get many questions each day. Questions about Auctioneer / Auction Company licensing and laws are as common as scorpions in the desert!

So that you can get your answers faster regarding these issues the ASAA Board of Directors has issued a general statement:

1. The state of Arizona does not currently have an auction company or auctioneer licensing program. There are no laws that specifically guide the auction industry.
2. Be aware that cities, municipalities, etc may require permits or business licensing. Before conducting an auction in any city you should always contact city hall to ensure the you are conducting your business within the guidelines or laws set forth in that community. The ASAA recommends that you use good business practices when representing the auction industry.
3. All dealing with monies should be guided by the state and local tax codes. You should consult an accountant and/or an attorney to ensure you are conducting your business within the guide lines set forth by the state and city.
4. The ASAA has adopted the NAA Code of Conduct. Members of the Arizona State Auctioneers Association are to use the code as a guide to how they present themselves and how they conduct their business. The ASAA Code of Conduct is to be followed by all members. Failure to abide by the ASAA Code of Conduct may result in being suspended or removed from the association.

We hope that this document has been helpful to you and answered your questions. If you have any further questions concerning the auction industry please contact the association.
