Bill > HB3089

This bill requires third-party home inspectors, defined as individuals who inspect residential units for compensation, to disclose the specific building code standards they used in their home inspection reports. These standards must align with those adopted by local political subdivisions, such as counties or cities. The report must then clearly state whether any deficiencies were found in relation to these applicable building codes, or confirm that no deficiencies were identified. Additionally, the bill prohibits third-party home inspectors from conducting inspections if they have a "conflict of interest," which is broadly defined to include financial ties to the property or its occupants, or relationships that could create an appearance of impropriety.
