What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An appraisal management company (AMC) places appraisal assignments with licensed appraisers on behalf of lenders. Idaho registers AMCs through the Real Estate Appraiser Board and, since March 2016, conditions registration on a $25,000 surety bond (or an irrevocable letter of credit in the same amount).
The bond is a consumer-and-appraiser-protection guarantee. It is available to pay amounts a court adjudges owing to persons injured by the AMC's failure to comply with Idaho law — including appraisers who go unpaid. An action against the bond must generally be commenced within 120 days of the AMC's non-compliance.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety. This is the $25,000 registration bond; a letter of credit is an accepted alternative, but the surety bond is usually far cheaper than tying up $25,000 in bank collateral.

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 $25,000 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 Real Estate Appraiser Board. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your AMC registration or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $250 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
