Auction Advertising Guidance

Read below for guidance on auction advertising in Massachusetts.

Please be advised that Massachusetts state law Chapter 100 requires that all auction advertisements, including live auctions advertised on the internet, must be prominently listed on the first page of the ad. 

Therefore, kindly ensure that all advertisements contain your Massachusetts state auctioneers license number as required. Failure to do so will result in a fine and/or suspension of your license. If you have any questions, please contact the Division of Standards.
