Indiana Licensure

(P.L. 145 enacted In 2004)

P.L. 145 established the Home Inspectors Licensing Board to regulate home inspectors and associate home inspectors. The Board shall be responsible for setting the fees for licenses, investigating complaints concerning licensees and establishing continuing education requirements. The Board shall adopt a code of ethics, standards for competent performance of home inspections and standards for inspection reports.

Under P.L. 145, licensing requires that a candidate:

1. Be at least 18 years of age.
2. Graduted from high school or earned a GED diploma.
3. Have NOT been convicted of specific crimes.
4. Complete a Board approved training program or course and pass an exam approved by the Board.
5. Carry general liability insurance coverage of at least $100,000.
6. Pay a fee. The law also provides that a person who performs home inspections for compensation without a license commits a Class B Infraction.

It also provides that any civil complaints based upon the professional services of a licensed home inspector must be filed within two years of the date the alleged Infraction occurred. This law takes effect July 1, 2004.
