About this bond

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 $750 with no credit check and track your renewal 60 and 30 days out.

G.S. 93E-2-4(g) (NC Appraisal Board)Under G.S. 93E-2-4(g), each appraisal management company registration or renewal with the NC Appraisal Board requires a $25,000 surety bond that accrues to the Board for the benefit of claimants against the registrant — securing the AMC's faithful performance and payment to appraisers it has not paid. The bond is continuous and may be canceled by the surety only after 90 days' written notice to the Board.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the North Carolina AMC bond? +
The premium is $750 — a flat 3% of the fixed $25,000 bond amount, the same for every AMC. The $25,000 is set by G.S. 93E-2-4(g), so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $25,000? +
No. You pay $750. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
What does the bond protect against? +
It secures your faithful performance as an AMC and, notably, payment to appraisers you've engaged but not paid. A harmed claimant — including an unpaid appraiser — can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount registration bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay continuous for as long as you're registered, and the surety can cancel only on 90 days' notice to the Board. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
