What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An appraisal management company is the middle layer between lenders and the appraisers who value real estate. Oregon registers AMCs through the Appraiser Certification and Licensure Board and conditions that registration on a $25,000 surety bond — a financial backstop that the company will pay the appraisers it hires and run its appraisal management honestly.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Oregon (the obligee). The bond specifically covers amounts owed to appraisers who perform real estate appraisal activity for the company, and amounts adjudged against the company for negligent or improper appraisal management.
The bond must stay at the full $25,000 for the life of the registration. If it is cancelled or reduced below $25,000, the AMC must file a replacement or surrender its registration — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your filing continuous.
