A proprietary real estate school in Alabama must file a $20,000 bond with the Real Estate Commission under Ala. Code §34-27-6. Ours is $200 flat — identical for every school, and the price you see is the checkout price — and license bonds like this issue instantly.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
School details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Alabama Real Estate Commission. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The Alabama Real Estate Commission licenses proprietary (private) real estate schools, and Ala. Code §34-27-6 conditions the license on a $20,000 surety bond payable to the Commission. It is a student-protection guarantee — it backs the tuition and fees students pay you.
The statute is specific about coverage: the bond pays, up to $20,000 in the aggregate, judgments recovered against the school for damages arising from the school collecting tuition or fees but failing to provide the complete instruction those fees were collected for. In other words, it protects students if you take their money and don’t deliver the course.
The bond must stay in effect as long as the school is licensed. If the surety cancels it, the school has 10 days to file a replacement — failure to maintain a bond results in immediate suspension of the school’s license and all its branches. We track yours and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
