What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Alabama registers appraisal management companies through the Real Estate Appraisers Board, and conditions registration on a $25,000 surety bond. The bond accrues to the state for the benefit of claimants — it secures the AMC's faithful performance of its obligations under the appraisal management law.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Alabama / Appraisers Board (the obligee), with harmed claimants — typically appraisers or consumers — as the protected parties. If an AMC fails to meet its statutory obligations and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must be maintained annually on renewal, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your $25,000 registration bond continuous.
