The commonwealth of Virginia requires different kinds of surety bonds for certain professionals, contract workers, and companies to do business in the state. You must be bonded to be licensed as a motor vehicle dealer, mortgage broker, appraisal management company, public adjuster, or title insurance settlement agent.
All these bonds, along with licensing, are handled at the state level by various VA state agencies, which are listed in the bond descriptions below. Most VA surety bonds are set at a fixed coverage amount. An exception is the mortgage broker bond, which ranges from $25,000 to $150,000 based on your previous year’s loan volume.

Virginia appraisal management companies are required to obtain a $100,000 surety bond by the Real Estate Appraiser Board of the VA Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation. Bond approval is subject to underwriting, meaning that applicants with excellent credit could pay a premium as low as 1%—or $1,000—per year of coverage.
A $50,000 surety bond is required for contractors in Virginia who don’t meet the state’s net worth requirements for licensure. This surety bond requirement is an alternative option for Class A and Class B contractors to serve as proof of financial responsibility. Whether you’re applying for a Class A contractor license or Class B contractor license, you can get the contractor bond for $438 for a 2-year term with NNA Surety Bonds.
