Oregon Appraisal Management Company Bond
Overview
Running an appraisal management company in Oregon? You need a surety bond before the Oregon Appraiser Certification and Licensure Board will issue your AMC registration. This bond protects appraisers and clients from financial harm caused by an AMC that fails to meet its obligations. Bond Titan makes it fast and simple to get bonded so you can move forward with your application.
Who Needs This Bond?
You're starting or operating an appraisal management company in Oregon and you've hit the bonding requirement in the registration process. Any business that recruits, manages, or assigns independent appraisers to perform real estate appraisal services in Oregon must hold this bond. This applies to both new AMC applicants and existing companies renewing their registration with the Oregon Appraiser Certification and Licensure Board. If your company coordinates appraisals on Oregon properties, this bond is required.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to hold appraisal management companies accountable for honest, lawful conduct in their dealings with appraisers and clients. If your AMC fails to pay appraisers for completed work, engages in improper conduct, or violates Oregon's AMC registration requirements, an injured party can file a claim against the bond. The bond provides a financial remedy without requiring the harmed party to sue you directly. It is a condition of doing business as an AMC in Oregon, not optional coverage.
When is it Required?
Before your Oregon AMC registration is approved, the bond must already be in place — the Oregon Appraiser Certification and Licensure Board will not complete the registration process without it. This means you cannot legally operate as an appraisal management company in Oregon until the bond is secured and submitted as part of your application. Do not wait until after you've lined up your first appraisal assignments. Get bonded first, then proceed with registration.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Oregon requirement enforced by the Oregon Appraiser Certification and Licensure Board. It covers AMC activity conducted anywhere within the state of Oregon. There is no county or city-specific version — one bond satisfies the statewide registration obligation.
