Utah appraisal management bonds.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An appraisal management company hires and manages independent appraisers for lenders. Utah registers AMCs through the Department of Commerce's Division of Real Estate under the Appraisal Management Company Registration and Regulation Act (Utah Code Title 61, Chapter 2e), and conditions registration on a $25,000 surety bond.
The bond runs to the benefit of the appraisers the AMC works with and the Division. It backs the AMC's obligation to pay appraisers the fees they are owed and to comply with the Act — if the AMC fails to pay an appraiser, that appraiser can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for the AMC — if the surety pays a claim, the AMC repays the surety. The $25,000 amount is set by statute and rule (R162-2e), so every AMC posts the same figure and pays the same $750.
