In the United States, auctions are regulated on a state by state basis. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a general “code of commerce” which serves as the basis for auction law and has been drafted, by many states, into their license law. Auctioneers in states that do not have a license law are required to follow UCC guidelines (Louisiana by analogy).
Auction School: Western College of Auctioneering is an approved auction school in the state of Idaho.
State Auction License Required: There is no state required auctioneer license in Idaho. Some counties and municipalities may require a permit or licensing.
