What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An appraisal management company hires and manages independent appraisers for lenders. Georgia's Real Estate Appraiser and Real Estate Appraisal Management Company Classification and Regulation Act (O.C.G.A. § 43-39A) conditions AMC registration on a surety bond — a guarantee in favor of the state that protects appraisers and the public against the AMC's misconduct.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Georgia (the obligee). The bond is conditioned to pay damages, up to the bond amount, to any appraiser aggrieved by an act of the AMC — for example, an AMC that fails to pay appraisers for completed work.
The bond must be at least $20,000 and stay active for the life of your registration. Let it lapse and your AMC registration can be suspended — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $20,000 filing continuous.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $20,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Appraisers Board. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your AMC registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $200 at the $20,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
