About this bond

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.

O.C.G.A. § 43-39A (AMC registration)Georgia's Real Estate Appraiser and Real Estate Appraisal Management Company Classification and Regulation Act (O.C.G.A. § 43-39A, enacted 2013) requires an appraisal management company to register with the Georgia Real Estate Appraisers Board and post a surety bond in an amount not less than $20,000, issued in favor of the state and conditioned to pay damages to any appraiser aggrieved by an act of the AMC.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Georgia AMC bond? +
The premium is $600 — a flat 3% of the $20,000 bond amount, the same for every AMC. The $20,000 is the statutory minimum, so there is no quote process at that amount.
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 by an aggrieved appraiser — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Fixed-amount license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that 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? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
What does the bond protect against? +
It is conditioned to pay damages, up to $20,000, to any appraiser aggrieved by an act of the AMC — most commonly an AMC that fails to pay appraisers for completed work. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
