About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

An appraisal management company bond is a compliance-and-consumer-protection guarantee. Your AMC manages a panel of appraisers and orders valuations for lenders — Alaska wants a financial backstop that you'll follow appraisal management law and deal honestly with appraisers and the public.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Alaska (the obligee), with appraisers and harmed parties protected. If an AMC commits an act of malfeasance or misfeasance in conducting appraisal management operations, a party with a valid cause of action can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay in place for as long as you're registered. Let it lapse and your registration can be affected — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $50,000 filing continuous.

AS 08.87.135Alaska Statutes 08.87.135 conditions registration of an appraisal management company on a surety bond of $50,000 running to the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development, to indemnify the state and any person harmed by malfeasance or misfeasance in the conduct of appraisal management operations. Confirm the current amount and bond form on your application — we issue on the Division's form.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Alaska appraisal management company bond? +
The premium is $1,500 — a flat 3% of the fixed $50,000 bond amount, the same for every AMC. The $50,000 is set by statute, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $50,000? +
No. You pay $1,500. The $50,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many companies finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Fixed-amount registration bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as your AMC is registered. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your registration never lapses over a missed email.
