LA appraisal management company bonds.
$600. Five minutes.
Louisiana requires every appraisal management company (AMC) to file a $20,000 bond with the Real Estate Appraisers Board — ours is $600 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount. The application is five minutes, and license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.

What it is and who needs it.
What the AMC bond actually guarantees
An appraisal management company hires and manages independent appraisers for lenders. Louisiana regulates AMCs under the Appraisal Management Company Licensing and Regulation Act (R.S. 37:3415.1 et seq.), administered by the Louisiana Real Estate Appraisers Board (LREAB), and conditions the license on a $20,000 bond.
It is a compliance-and-payment guarantee: the bond stands behind your faithful performance of the AMC Act — including paying appraisers properly and following the Board’s rules. Under R.S. 37:3415.3(D), every applicant for an AMC license or renewal must file a corporate bond, cash bond, or other security with the Board to secure compliance with the Act.
It is not insurance for you — if a claimant (such as an unpaid appraiser) recovers against the bond, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your license; we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $20,000 filing continuous.
