What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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 $250; no credit check, and we track your renewal 60 and 30 days out.

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 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 Appraisal Board. 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.
