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.
