Why is a surety bond required for appraisal management companies in New Jersey?
The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs requires applicants for registration to post a $25,000 surety bond before they can receive a license. The bond is required pursuant to N.J. Admin. Code § 13:40A-9.4 as a form of consumer protection required of all registration applicants. The principal (appraisal management company) must abide by all applicable rules and regulations concerning appraisal management business. Prohibited acts for appraisal management companies and officers can be found in the N.J. Admin. Code § 13:40A-9.11.
If a consumer is affected by any negligence or failure to comply with all codes, they can file a claim up to the full $25,000 amount of the bond. The surety company will pay to cover valid claims; however, the principal must reimburse the surety for all funds paid out.
