What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
South Carolina registers appraisal management companies through the Real Estate Appraisers Board at LLR, under the appraisal management company act. As a condition of registration, an AMC must maintain a $25,000 surety bond (or, as an alternative, submit a detailed statement of its financial condition).
The bond is a consumer-and-appraiser-protection guarantee: it stands behind the AMC's compliance with the act and the Board's rules, for the benefit of any person who sustains loss or damage. You are the principal, the surety carrier stands behind you, and the State and harmed parties are protected.
The bond must stay active for as long as you are registered — let it lapse and your AMC registration is at risk. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your $25,000 filing continuous. It is not insurance for you; if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
