What is a Louisiana appraisal management company bond? 

Louisiana AMC Licensing and Regulation Act Section 3415.3 D.(1) requires individuals file a $20,000 surety bond amount with their new or renewal appraisal management company license application. State law specifies this Louisiana surety bond benefits claimants against appraisal management company registrants to ensure they faithfully perform their licensing obligations. The state's official bond form is titled “Appraisal Management Company $20,000 Surety Bond” but is commonly known as the “appraisal management company bond,” “AMC surety bond,” or just “AMC bond.”

Why do appraisal management companies need a bond in Louisiana?

This Louisiana surety bond is required for state appraisal management company licensing. By filing this license bond, appraisal management companies agree to comply with all laws and regulations outlined in the Appraisal Management Company Licensing and Regulation Act. If a licensed and bonded AMC fails to do so, their issuing surety company will pay valid claims up to the full $20,000 bond amount, which the AMC must reimburse. 

Who regulates licensing for appraisal management companies? 

The Louisiana Real Estate Appraisers Board enforces licensing for appraisal management companies in the state, including the $20,000 AMC surety bond requirement. If you have questions about your existing AMC license, new AMC license application, or state AMC license regulations, you can contact the Board by calling 1(225)925-1923 or emailing [email protected]
