Not yet

[Richard Murphy]

Depends on who you ask - Citizen's requires a HI license along with NACHI or ASHI membership

OR a GC license.

Mike - that sounds like an oxymoron

[Michael J. Meeker]

Weeeeeeellll



I do have a certificate

[William H. Smith]

I have contacted Rick Morrison regarding the question of state certification being required for 4-point and/or Wind Mit unless required by carrier.
I understand that many think it is not required due to the limited scope of work and it is a excellent point.
We Should get the information from the state to be absolutely correct prior to any "cease and desist" requests.

The state has nothing to do with four points

It is a fee-paid inspection residential inspection with a limited scope of work.
Not debating the issue, just requesting a state rep. clarification for the record.
Has anyone verified this with the DBPR?

[Bruce M. Graham]

Are looking to going fishing, because that is a big can of worms your messing with

[William H. Smith]

Wouldn't it be better to know before one gets into a grey area with the state?

[Ed Bancroft]

It seems real clear to me....if it is a fee paid inspection on a home you should need a Florida Home Inspectors License to do it.
Remember, licensing was implemented in Florida to protect the public from the untrained, unscrupulous and uninsured!!! (300,000.00 liability min. )

[Lawrence W. Losciale]

Ed,
The scope of work covered by an HI license is more than "a fee paid inspection on a home". I'd like to here the DBPR's interpitation on it.

[Ed Bancroft]

Just because an inspection does not cover every point in the HI Law SOP does not make it automaticly except from the law.
And yes, lets hear from the DPBR
