About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Hawaii established an appraisal management company registration program under HRS chapter 466K, administered by the director as part of the Real Estate Appraiser Program. Every AMC applying for or renewing registration must post and maintain a $25,000 surety bond with the director.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State (the obligee). The bond protects consumers and appraisers — if an AMC practices negligence or violates the rules, an affected party can file a claim up to the bond's full amount, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

The bond must remain in full force for your registration. It stays effective until cancellation, which can occur only after 90 days' written notice to the program — so we track it and send renewal notices ahead of any lapse.

HRS chapter 466K (Appraisal Management Companies)Hawaii Revised Statutes chapter 466K establishes an appraisal management company registration program administered by the director. Each AMC applying for or renewing registration must post and maintain a $25,000 surety bond with the director; the bond remains in full force and effect until cancellation, which may occur only after 90 days’ written notice to the program.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Hawaii AMC bond? +
The premium is $750 — a flat 3% of the fixed $25,000 bond amount, the same for every AMC. The $25,000 is set by HRS chapter 466K, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $25,000? +
No. You pay $750. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The director, as administrator of the appraisal management company registration program under HRS chapter 466K, requires it before registration or renewal. No active bond, no registration.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Fixed-amount registration bonds like this one don't need one.
How do I cancel or replace it? +
The bond stays in full force until cancellation, which can occur only after 90 days’ written notice to the program. We send renewal notices ahead of expiration so your registration never lapses over a missed email.
