What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An appraisal management company hires and oversees independent appraisers for lenders. Federal law (Dodd-Frank) directs states to register and supervise AMCs, and Colorado does so through the Division of Real Estate (Department of Regulatory Agencies), conditioning registration on a $25,000 surety bond.
The bond is a consumer-and-appraiser-protection guarantee. Its aggregate liability is capped at $25,000, and it backs the AMC’s compliance with the law — including damages someone suffers from the AMC’s fraud, forgery, criminal impersonation, or fraudulent impersonation while operating as an appraisal management company.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond runs one year and renews annually, and the surety can cancel on 30 days’ written notice to the AMC and the Division — so keeping it continuous keeps your registration intact.
