Requirements include proof of liability insurance, passing the national home inspector exam within two years, completing board-approved education, and demonstrating experience through either a curriculum or ten parallel inspections. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma or equivalent. Certain individuals with prior licensure in related fields may be exempt from education and experience requirements but must meet all other criteria. The superintendent issues licenses to qualified applicants, subject to section 4768.14. Submission of an application does not constitute licensure.
Ohio Rev. Code § 4764.09
A home inspector license issued or renewed under this chapter expires three years after issuance or renewal. To renew, a licensed home inspector must file a renewal application, proof of comprehensive or commercial general liability insurance, and proof of continuing education requirements within ninety days before expiration. Home inspectors who fail to renew before expiration may do so within three months following expiration by paying a late renewal fee, but cannot engage in licensed activities until the superintendent confirms renewal. Those who miss both deadlines or fail to submit required proof must reapply for a license under the initial application procedures.
