Arizona Home Inspector Regulations
Arizona Certification (Title 32, Chapter 1 enacted in
2002)
The Arizona State Board of Technical Registration (BTR)
certifies and regulates the practice of home inspectors. The law
requires 80 hours of education, successful completion of the
National Home Inspector Examination, and evidence of successfully
completed home inspections. In addition, the law requires that
certified home inspectors have one of the following financial
assurances: 1) Errors and Omissions Insurance in the amount of
$200,000 in the aggregate and $100,000 per occurrence, 2) a
$25,000 bond or proof of assets in that amount, or 3) an
alternate financial assurance mechanism approved by the BTR with
a value of at least $25,000. The law states that loss of or
failure to obtain financial assurance is grounds for revocation
of certification.
For more specific information regarding certification requirements, please go to the BTR website and, under Regulations on the Table of Contents panel, click on "Applicable Statutes" (see A.R.S.§ 32-122.02 or "Applicable Rules" (see A.A.C. R4-30-247).
