Georgia Appraisal Management Company Bond
Overview
Georgia requires appraisal management companies to be licensed through the Georgia Real Estate Appraisers Board, and that licensing process includes posting a surety bond. This bond protects appraisers and clients from financial harm caused by an AMC's failure to pay appraisers, misrepresent services, or violate state appraisal management regulations. It is a mandatory condition of doing business as an AMC in Georgia — not optional, not deferrable.
Who Needs This Bond?
Companies that recruit, manage, or assign residential real estate appraisers on behalf of lenders in Georgia must obtain this bond. This includes third-party appraisal management firms operating in the state, out-of-state AMCs seeking Georgia licensure, and any business entity functioning as an intermediary between appraisers and clients on Georgia properties. If you have been told you need a Georgia AMC license, this bond is part of that requirement.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects appraisers working under contract with your AMC, as well as clients who rely on your management of the appraisal process. If your company fails to pay appraisers as agreed, misrepresents its services, or violates Georgia's appraisal management regulations, a valid claim can be filed against this bond. The Georgia Real Estate Appraisers Board is the obligee — the party this bond is filed with and designed to protect the public through.
When is it Required?
Before the Georgia Real Estate Appraisers Board will approve your AMC license application, this bond must be in place. You will need to submit proof of the bond as part of your licensing package — not after approval, but as a condition of it. If you are renewing your license, the bond must remain active and continuous throughout each license period.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Georgia requirement applicable to all appraisal management companies seeking licensure under the Georgia Real Estate Appraisers Board. It applies regardless of where your company is headquartered, as long as you are managing appraisers or appraisal assignments on Georgia real property. There is no local or county-level variation — this is a uniform state licensing requirement.
