What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An appraisal management company sits between lenders and the appraisers it hires for them. Missouri licenses AMCs through the Real Estate Appraisers Commission and conditions the license on a $20,000 surety bond, so consumers and appraisers have a financial backstop if an AMC fails to meet its obligations.
The bond accrues to the Real Estate Appraisers Commission for the benefit of a consumer claimant and secures the faithful performance of the AMC, its employees, and its agents in connection with the activities of the company under §§339.500–339.549 RSMo.
You must keep the bond valid and submit proof at initial application, on renewal, and after any draw-down — if a claim reduces the bond, you restore it. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

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 $20,000 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 Commission. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Real Estate Appraisers Commission application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $200 at the $20,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
