What is the duration of the licensure period for inspectors?

The correct duration of the licensure period for home inspectors is 24 months. This means that once a home inspector obtains their license, it remains valid for two years before they must renew it. This renewal process typically requires inspectors to complete continuing education and possibly meet other renewal criteria set by the licensing authority.

The 24-month licensure period aligns with various standards in many states, ensuring that inspectors keep their knowledge current and maintain necessary skills in an evolving market. This also helps to ensure consumer protection by having inspectors who are up-to-date with changes in building codes, technologies, and industry practices during this period.
