Utah requires every appraisal management company (AMC) to file a $25,000 bond to register with the Division of Real Estate. Ours is $250 flat — set by our carrier's rate book, identical for every AMC. The application collects no credit information; e-signed in 1–2 business days.
















Your AMC registration is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process:
Company details, owner information, effective date. The application collects no credit information.
Most applications approve instantly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. If a check runs, it's a soft pull that won't touch your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with your AMC registration. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
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.
These are the actual underwriting fields. The application collects no credit information — submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
