Get Your Home Inspector License Reinstated
A lapsed home inspector license means you cannot legally perform real estate inspections or earn income from your inspection business. The good news is that most states allow reinstatement within a grace period, often with additional requirements like continuing education or late fees.
Reinstatement typically requires completing continuing education, paying fees, and following specific state procedures, but is generally achievable within grace periods
