Is it true that once you receive your auctioneer license, you can conduct auctions anywhere in Georgia?

Once you receive your auctioneer license, it is important to understand that local restrictions still apply. This means that while the state grant of the auctioneer license allows you to conduct auctions, individual counties or municipalities might have their own regulations, requirements, or restrictions governing the sale of goods at auction. Local laws can dictate specifics such as licensing fees, zoning laws, or even operating hours for auctions.

Understanding these local regulations is crucial because failing to comply can result in legal issues, including fines or the revocation of your license. Thus, having a state license does not exempt you from adhering to local rules and regulations in Georgia, reinforcing the need for auctioneers to be aware of and comply with the specific laws of the areas in which they conduct their auctions.
