Currently there is no licensing requirement in Colorado for home inspectors.\u00a0 In 2019 an attempt to initiate licensing at DORA failed to proceed.\u00a0 You can read details of this decision and alternative items that home inspectors do to validate their credentials and experience in this post: <a href=\"https:\/\/scotthomeinspection.com\/dora-recommends-do-not-regulate-home-inspectors-in-colorado\/\">DORA Recommended Do Not License Home Inspectors.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While there is no licensing for home inspectors in Colorado, there are many things you can look for with a home inspection company to feel good about their qualifications.\u00a0 Licensing is only one method to ensure minimum levels of trust are established.\u00a0 We recommend that you verify the home inspector you choose has the following items:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Certification as an ASHI or Internachi Home Inspector:<\/strong>\u00a0 each of these programs require that inspectors have minimum levels of training and knowledge before certifications are issued.\u00a0 Both InterNachi and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeinspector.org\/Buyers-And-Owners\/Homebuyers-Guide\/Choosing-the-Right-Inspector\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Society of Home Inspectors<\/a> (ASHI) have several levels of certification, but all levels require a minimum amount of training.\u00a0 If an inspector holds one of these certifications you can be sure they are trained properly to perform home inspections.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Continuing Education Credits:<\/strong> each of the above programs require annual CE credits to learn about new techniques and new information to stay abreast of the latest in home inspecting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Liability Insurance:<\/strong> all credible home inspectors will carry liability insurance in the event something is damaged or an injury occurs during a home inspection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Voluntary Background Checks:<\/strong> ask to know if your home inspector has passed a background check to verify their personal credibility and integrity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are minimum requirements that home inspectors or home inspection companies should maintain to validate their credentials and expertise.\u00a0 Even though licensing failed to pass in Colorado in 2019 for home inspectors, the requirements were planned to be similar to what is shown above.\u00a0 By asking if your chosen inspector meets these minimum levels of credibility you can feel confident he or she would have met any licensing requirements.<\/p>\n<p>At Scott Home Services we far exceed these minimum items and provide further value to our customers.\u00a0 Learn more about our <a href=\"https:\/\/scotthomeinspection.com\/inspection-services\/\">home inspection services<\/a> and let us know if we can answer any further questions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14360,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"faq_category":[1662],"class_list":["post-19433","avada_faq","type-avada_faq","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","faq_category-inspection-info"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.1 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Are Home Inspectors Licensed in Colorado? - Scott Home Inspection<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Are Home Inspectors Licensed in Colorado?
