What is the Pennsylvania appraisal management company bond?
Pennsylvania Code Section 36.452 requires individuals file a $40,000 surety bond to register as an appraisal management company. The state's official form is just titled “BOND” but is more commonly known as the “appraisal management company bond” or “AMC bond.” This bond is specifically used to protect individuals from a professional appraisal practice that violates the Pennsylvania Appraisal Management Company Registration Act or other Pennsylvania Code regarding service nonperformance or fee nonpayment.
Why do appraisal management companies need to be bonded?
Appraisal management companies need to be bonded for Pennsylvania state business registration. By filing this bond, a professional appraisal practice registrant agrees to fully and faithfully observe all Pennsylvania laws as well as rules and regulations enforced by the State Board of Certified Real Estate Appraisers. If they fail to do so, their issuing surety company will pay valid claims to harmed individuals up to the full $40,000 bond amount, which the AMC must reimburse.
