As of May this year, Utah Home Inspectors are required to be licensed. This law was passed to help root out the abundance of unqualified "self proclaimed" inspectors that were costing people tens of thousands of dollars due to poor quality inspections. It also ensures inspectors carry liability insurance of at least 500k so bad inspectors can no longer just walk away from a situation they caused saying its not their problem. We have inspected homes after poor quality inspections to see everything that bad inspectors missed and homeowners were on the hook for, so this is a great new law for clients here in the Basin! When hiring your inspector, make sure they are "licensed" and not just certified.
