About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

An appraisal management company hires and manages independent appraisers for lenders. Utah registers AMCs through the Department of Commerce's Division of Real Estate under the Appraisal Management Company Registration and Regulation Act (Utah Code Title 61, Chapter 2e), and conditions registration on a $25,000 surety bond.

The bond runs to the benefit of the appraisers the AMC works with and the Division. It backs the AMC's obligation to pay appraisers the fees they are owed and to comply with the Act — if the AMC fails to pay an appraiser, that appraiser can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for the AMC — if the surety pays a claim, the AMC repays the surety. The $25,000 amount is set by statute and rule (R162-2e), so every AMC posts the same figure and pays the same $750.

Utah Code Title 61, Chapter 2e (Division of Real Estate)Utah's Appraisal Management Company Registration and Regulation Act (Utah Code Title 61, Chapter 2e), implemented by administrative rule R162-2e, conditions AMC registration with the Division of Real Estate on a $25,000 surety bond. The bond lets the Division make a claim on behalf of an appraiser for unpaid fees. Confirm the current $25,000 figure on your registration application.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Utah AMC bond? +
The premium is $750 — a flat 3% of the fixed $25,000 bond amount, the same for every AMC. The $25,000 is set by statute and rule, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $25,000? +
No. You pay $750. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
What does the bond guarantee? +
That the AMC pays appraisers the fees they are owed and complies with the Appraisal Management Company Registration and Regulation Act. The Division of Real Estate can make a claim on an appraiser's behalf for unpaid fees.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as your AMC is registered. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
