North Carolina registers appraisal management companies through the NC Appraisal Board, and conditions registration on a $25,000 bond under G.S. 93E-2-4(g). Ours is $750 flat (3% of the bond amount), with no credit check on this bond.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's 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 NC Appraisal 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.
North Carolina registers appraisal management companies (AMCs) — firms that recruit appraisers and manage appraisal assignments for lenders — through the NC Appraisal Board under Chapter 93E, Article 2. Registration is conditioned on a $25,000 surety bond.
Under G.S. 93E-2-4(g), the bond accrues to the Appraisal Board for the benefit of a claimant against the registrant, securing the AMC's faithful performance of its obligations — and, importantly, payment to appraisers who performed work the AMC didn't pay for. Both consumers and unpaid appraisers can recover against it.
The obligation is continuous — the surety can only cancel after 90 days' written notice to the Board — so the bond must stay in force as long as you're registered. We write it at $750 with no credit check and track your renewal 60 and 30 days out.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
