HB 1832 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to the licensing of home inspectors

HB 1832 establishes a licensing system for home inspectors in Missouri, requiring anyone performing paid home inspections to obtain a state license. It directly affects individuals and businesses offering home inspection services, while exempting property owners inspecting their own properties, government employees, real estate professionals acting within their licenses, and those inspecting limited components (like heating or electrical systems) in a single residential building. Key provisions include defining "home inspection" and "readily accessible" components, creating an apprenticeship program supervised by licensed inspectors, and mandating that all inspection reports be reviewed and signed by a licensed inspector. The bill also prohibits licensing for businesses (e.g., corporations, LLCs) and outlines penalties for unlicensed activity.
