What is the consequence if an inspector fails to renew their license before it expires?

If an inspector fails to renew their license before it expires, the consequence is that the license will become inactive. This means that the inspector is no longer authorized to perform inspections until they take the necessary steps to reinstate their license. An inactive license indicates that the inspector is not currently in good standing to carry out their professional duties, which can have implications for their ability to work in the field.

Moreover, having an inactive license might lead to complications in terms of ongoing inspections or client agreements, as clients typically expect inspectors to hold a valid and active license during the inspection process. The process to reactivate the license may involve fulfilling certain requirements, such as completing continuing education or paying fees, which adds to the importance of timely renewal. Therefore, inspectors must be diligent in keeping track of their license status and renewal deadlines to avoid any interruption in their ability to practice professionally.
