About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the AMC bond actually guarantees

An appraisal management company (AMC) coordinates appraisal work between lenders and independent appraisers. Arizona requires an AMC to register before operating, and conditions registration on a surety bond under A.R.S. 32-3667 of at least $20,000 (and not more than $50,000).

The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind the AMC’s obligation to follow Arizona’s appraisal-management statutes and the regulator’s rules — including paying appraisers properly and handling appraisal assignments lawfully. If the AMC violates those obligations and someone is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.

The bond is continuous until canceled, with the surety required to give 30 days’ notice before canceling, and it must stay in force for the registration to remain valid. We track yours and notify you ahead of any renewal. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

The bond is continuous until canceled, with 30 days’ notice required before cancellation. Confirm whether your registration requires the $20,000 minimum or a higher figure.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Arizona AMC bond? +
At the $20,000 registration figure, the premium is $600 — a flat 3% of the bond amount. Arizona allows the Board to set the bond between $20,000 and $50,000; at a higher figure it’s still a flat 3%, so a $50,000 bond would be $1,500.
Do I pay the $20,000? +
No. You pay $600. The $20,000 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 issue right after purchase — many AMCs finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the AMC bond has no credit section at all. It’s a fixed-amount registration bond that issues instantly.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as your AMC registration is in force. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices ahead of expiration, with autopay available, so your registration never lapses over a missed email.
