What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An appraisal management company bond is a compliance-and-payment guarantee. An AMC sits between lenders and the appraisers it engages — Arkansas wants a financial backstop that the company follows appraiser-independence law and pays the appraisers on its panel.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Arkansas (the obligee), with harmed appraisers and consumers as protected parties. If an AMC violates the appraisal-management rules, a harmed party can recover against the $20,000 bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your registration. If your surety cancels it, Arkansas rules require you to file a replacement bond promptly — generally within ten calendar days — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $20,000 filing continuous.
