Arizona requires every appraisal management company (AMC) to file a surety bond of at least $20,000 to register, under A.R.S. 32-3667. At the $20,000 figure, ours is $600 flat — 3% of the bond amount — with no credit check and a five-minute application.
















Registration bonds like this are the simplest thing in surety. Here’s the entire process:
Company details and an effective date. That’s the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up.
Registration bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your AMC registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$20,000 bond × 3% = $600, one-time per term. Fixed price at the $20,000 figure, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn’t have one.
