What it is and who needs it.
What the AMC bond actually guarantees
An appraisal management company sits between lenders and appraisers — ordering appraisals, managing panels, and paying appraisers. North Dakota registers AMCs and conditions registration on a $25,000 surety bond as a consumer-and-appraiser protection.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of North Dakota (the obligee), with consumers and appraisers as the protected parties. If an AMC violates appraisal-management law — for example, by failing to pay appraisers or breaching appraisal-independence rules — a harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for as long as you are registered. Let it lapse and your registration can be suspended — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $25,000 filing continuous. If the surety pays a claim, the AMC repays the surety.
