City of La Grande Oregon enacts licensing for auctioneers selling merchandise by public outcry. Applicants must obtain license from City Recorder upon proof of payment to City Treasurer and compliance with provisions. Unauthorized sale at public auction may lead to conviction and license penalties.
The ordinance in La Grande Oregon sets two license classes for public sales. Class one auctions require a $1000 annual license for a fixed location. class two covers temporary sales at any venue with $25 per day, minimum 40 days. It bans street noise and requires permits, with fines from $50 to $100 and possible jail time for violations. Auctions must disclose no guarantees, money must be held in trust for 24 hours, and misrepresentations allow refunds or held funds for judgments. Violators may lose licenses and face penalties from the city recorder.
