Delaware Appraisal Management Company Bond
Overview
Get bonded as a Delaware Appraisal Management Company and meet the state's licensing requirements before you coordinate a single appraisal. Delaware requires AMCs to carry a surety bond as a condition of registration, protecting appraisers and clients from financial harm caused by unlawful or negligent AMC conduct. Without this bond in place, your registration application goes nowhere.
Who Needs This Bond?
Appraisal Management Companies operating in Delaware — whether you're launching a new AMC or renewing an existing registration — must carry this bond. If your business recruits, manages, or contracts with licensed appraisers to provide real estate appraisal services within the state, you are the principal on this bond. It applies to both in-state AMCs and out-of-state companies seeking to conduct business with Delaware properties.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that your Appraisal Management Company will comply with Delaware's AMC regulations and deal honestly with appraisers and clients. If your AMC fails to pay appraisers, engages in fraudulent conduct, or violates state appraisal management laws, a harmed party can make a claim against the bond to recover losses. It holds AMCs financially accountable to the standards the state has set for the profession.
When is it Required?
Registration with the Delaware Division of Professional Regulation triggers the bond requirement. You must submit proof of this bond as part of your AMC registration application — it cannot be filed after approval. Whether you are registering for the first time or renewing, the bond must remain active and in good standing throughout your registration period.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide requirement under Delaware's AMC licensing framework and applies to any company managing appraisers for real estate transactions involving Delaware properties. It is filed with the Delaware Division of Professional Regulation. There is no local or county-level variation — the requirement is uniform across the entire state.
