About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Mississippi registers appraisal management companies — firms that hire and oversee independent appraisers for lenders — through the Real Estate Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board under the Mississippi Appraisal Management Company Registration Act. Registration requires a $20,000 surety bond.

The bond is payable to the State of Mississippi for the use, benefit, and indemnity of any person who suffers damage or loss as a result of the AMC’s breach of contract, breach of an obligation arising from contract, or violation of law. A harmed appraiser, lender, or consumer can recover against the bond up to $20,000.

The surety can cancel only with at least 60 days’ written notice to the Board’s administrator, keeping coverage continuous. If the surety pays a claim, the AMC repays the surety. (Note: the Registration Act is currently set to stand repealed July 1, 2027 unless the Legislature reauthorizes it.)

Miss. Code § 73-34-103Under the Mississippi Appraisal Management Company Registration Act (Miss. Code §§ 73-34-101 to 73-34-131), § 73-34-103 requires an AMC applicant to file with the Real Estate Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board a surety bond payable to the State of Mississippi in the amount of $20,000, for the use, benefit, and indemnity of any person who suffers damage or loss from the AMC’s breach of contract or violation of law. The surety must give at least 60 days’ notice to cancel. The Act is currently set to repeal July 1, 2027 unless reauthorized.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Mississippi AMC bond?The premium is $200 — set by our carrier’s rate book for this specific $20,000 bond, the same for every AMC. There is no quote process at this fixed amount.
Do I pay the $20,000?No. You pay $200. The $20,000 is the surety's maximum liability to harmed parties; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
What does the bond protect against?It indemnifies anyone — appraiser, lender, or consumer — who suffers damage or loss from the AMC’s breach of contract or violation of law. If the surety pays a claim, the AMC repays the surety.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — there's no credit section to fill out. Most applications like this approve instantly; if a check ever runs, it's a soft pull that never affects your score.
Is the AMC requirement going away in 2027?The Mississippi Appraisal Management Company Registration Act is currently scheduled to repeal on July 1, 2027 unless the Legislature reauthorizes it — a common sunset clause that is often renewed. Until then, the $20,000 bond requirement stands.
