For many years there have been legislative attempts to license Property Inspectors. While they have failed for many reasons, CAR has always been opposed to tying the standards to their own governing body and attempts to limit liability. C.A.R. is taking active steps to implement a statewide private vetting service that will give members a choice of qualified home inspectors of the utmost quality, that have met our standards. This program includes background checks, minimum liability insurance, education, and identified vendors that are using best practices in the home inspection field.

With home inspection practice moving towards inspections when no other individuals are present, identifying inspectors with a clear background and who follow best practices is becoming increasingly relevant.

In addition, finding home inspectors who maintain liability insurance and are highly educated and trained is necessary to assure the public that they have a qualified home inspector.
