Washington: report recommends licensing home inspectors

The Washington State Department of Licensing has issued a report recommending that the legislature consider licensing home inspectors as a public protection measure. During its last session, the legislature did consider licensing the profession, but ordered further study before making a decision. The department held public meetings and collected input from all stakeholders which is included in the report. Appendices E and F contain by-state summaries of home inspector regulation as provided by two associations. Read the report.
