Oklahoma's license law, checked on
- Who licenses
- The Construction Industries Board, through its Committee of Home Inspector Examiners, under the Home Inspection Licensing Act.
- Who can apply
- At least 18 years old.
- Education
- 90 hours of home inspection training from a school the Committee approves, or its equivalent. The application must be accompanied by evidence of completing it.
- Exam
- An examination given by the third-party vendor PSI, whose contact details you receive once your application is approved. A passing score is 70 percent or more on each part. If you fail, you wait 30 days before retaking it.
- Insurance
- Comprehensive general liability insurance with limits of at least $50,000 combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage. The certificate must name the Construction Industries Board as certificate holder, not as an additional insured.
- Fees
- A $30 application and a $250 license fee, $280 in total for an initial license. The exam fee is $200, paid to PSI when you schedule. Renewal is $150, reactivation is $50, and licensure by reciprocity is $50.
- Renewal
- A license lasts 12 months. You may renew without penalty for 30 days after it expires. A license expired for more than a year cannot be renewed, and you may obtain a valid license by passing the examination and meeting the other requirements again.
- Continuing education
- 8 hours of approved continuing education completed within the 12 months before renewal, of which no more than 2 hours may be on Ancillary Systems topics.
- Out-of-state applicants
- The law provides for reciprocity. A home inspector licensed in another state with equal or greater license requirements may be licensed here, for a $50 reciprocity fee. A non-resident licensee who satisfies another state's renewal education requirement is exempt from Oklahoma's, if a certificate from that state reaches the Committee within 60 days of its issue, with the renewal.
