Welcome to the National Association of Home Inspectors Illinois Chapter

Our Mission
The mission of the National Association of Home Inspectors is: "To promote excellence and professionalism in the Home Inspection industry; to provide standards of practice and a code of ethics; to educate its members; and to inform the public of the benefits and scope of a professional home inspection."

Illinois Licensure (Public Act 92-039). Illinois law creates the "Home Inspector Licensing Act" and establishes a Home Inspector Advisory Board within the Office of Banks and Real Estate, which is charged with regulating home inspectors. The law directs the Board to establish standards of practice, as well as educational and administrative requirements as they relate to the practice of home inspections. Under the law, home inspectors are required to take a Board-approved examination. The Board is responsible for developing administrative rules to define and establish the education requirements, application and appropriate fees, as well as establishing any penalties or disciplinary actions for violating the terms of a license. The law also exempts certain professionals from licensure as a home inspector while acting under the scope of their licenses. The law becomes effective January 1, 2003.
