What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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.

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 $25,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The carrier issues this bond for a single two-year term; the term cannot be changed 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 your registration. 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.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $250 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
