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.

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 ACLB. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your AMC registration or renewal at the Appraiser Certification and Licensure Board. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $250 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
