Florida Home Inspector FAQ (pdf)

What are the requirements to become a licensed home inspector in the State of Florida?
This depends upon which method of licensure for which you are applying: licensure by examination, endorsement, or grandfathering (which ended March 1, 2011).

Licensure by examination requires:

passing an examination; and
completing an approved 120-hour course. InterNACHI's Florida Pre-Licensing Course is approved by Florida and includes 80 hours ONLINE (learn at your pace) and 40 hours CLASSROOM.

Does the department have a website where the public can get information about the profession?

Yes; www.MyFloridaLicense.com > Doing Business With Us > Home Inspector.

Is there a list of approved 120 hour prelicensing courses?

All department approved 120 hour prelicensing courses can be found at www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/servop/testing/CE.html.

Additional licensure requirements for all applicants:

An applicant for licensure must submit to a criminal background check, be of good moral character, and obtain a $300,000 commercial general liability insurance policy.
An applicant may not qualify for licensure if he or she has had a home inspector license or a license in any related field revoked at any time or suspended within the previous 5 years or has been assessed a fine that exceeds $500 within the previous 5 years. A license in a related field includes, but is not limited to, licensure in real estate, construction, mold-related services, or building code administration or inspection.

Do I currently need a license to perform home inspections?

A license will be required after July 1, 2010; however, Florida Statutes provide that unlicensed activity will not be enforced until July 2011.

What examination is given?

Anyone desiring to be licensed by examination will be required to pass the National Home Inspector Examination (NHIE) given by the Examination Board of Professional Home Inspectors (EBPHI). Applicants must achieve a passing grade pursuant to the requirements of the NHIE, Section 455.217 and Section 468.8313(4), F.S. The applicant must pass the examination before they apply to be licensed.

What happens after I pass the examination?

Applicants must meet the other licensure requirements, including good moral character, completion of educational/experience requirements, fees, and insurance. Applicants then apply to the department for licensure.

For State Application Assistance:

If you have any questions or need assistance completing the application, please contact the department’s Customer Contact Center at 850.487.1395.

I’m currently licensed with the Construction Industry Licensing Board as a contractor. Do I need a license to perform home inspections?
Contractors will be able to conduct system specific "inspections" that include some systems or components of the home. "Home inspection services" is currently defined to include all eight components of the home. Contractors can continue to conduct estimates and system specific inspections on those building systems and components included within their scope of work. The law defines "home inspection services" as the limited visual examination of the following readily accessible installed systems and components of a home: the structure, electrical system, HVAC system, roof covering, plumbing system, interior components, exterior components, and site conditions that affect the structure. The purpose of the inspection is to provide a written professional opinion of the condition of the home. All eight components of the home must be inspected and a report written to be considered an official home inspection where the department has jurisdiction under Section 468.83 Part XV. System specific inspections of just one system or component will not require a home inspectors license. However, contractors not licensed as a home inspector may not represent themselves as home inspectors.

***Class schedule and fees are set by the Approved School, not by Florida or InterNACHI. The Approved School reserves the right to cancel a class ten (10) days prior to the class date.
