New Jersey requires every registered appraisal management company to file a fixed $25,000 bond with the Real Estate Appraiser Board — ours is $750 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount. The application is five minutes, with no credit check on this bond.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Real Estate Appraiser Board registration or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$25,000 bond × 3% = $750, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
New Jersey registers appraisal management companies through the State Real Estate Appraiser Board (within the Division of Consumer Affairs) and conditions registration on a $25,000 surety bond. An AMC coordinates appraisal assignments between lenders and independent appraisers — the bond is a consumer-and-appraiser-protection guarantee.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of New Jersey together with harmed appraisers and consumers (the protected parties). If an AMC fails to pay appraisers, violates appraisal-independence rules, or otherwise breaks New Jersey appraisal law, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your registration. The AMC registration runs in two-year cycles — let the bond lapse and your registration is at risk, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your $25,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn’t have one.
