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.

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 Appraiser Board. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your AMC registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
