Mississippi Home Inspection

The state of Mississippi, according to Mississippi Licensure Law, Chapter 71, enacted in 2001, requires all Home Inspectors to be licensed. The Mississippi Real Estate Commission is the governing body and is given responsibility for receiving and approving applications, for working with the Home Inspector Advisory Board, drafting and/or adopting a code of ethics and standards of practice, and developing applications and forms. The Home Inspector Regulatory Board, a five person entity, serves in an advisory capacity to the Commission, conducts investigations into wrong doing or unethical practices and doles out the appropriate discipline.

 Home Inspectors in Mississippi must comply with the following requirements to become licensed:

 You must have successfully completed High School and be able to show proof of a diploma or its equivalent (GED).

 You must be at least 21 years of age.

 You must have completed successfully at least 60 hours of educational instruction, that may also include field work, as approved and prescribed by the Commission.

 In addition, you must provide a certificate of Errors and Omissions AND General Liability Insurance in the amount of $250,000.00 for each policy.
