While a license is not required to become a home inspector in Alabama, the home inspection profession is regulated by the state. Follow the steps below to become a legally compliant Alabama home inspector.
The law requires home inspectors to have:
- Complete approved home inspection training
- Join a professional home inspector association that requires approved home inspection training

There are three additional methods of becoming a home inspector: (1) current approval or certification by the
United States Veterans Administration, HUD the Southern Building Code Congress International, or the Council of
American Building Officials; (2) a high school diploma or its equivalent, work experience for at least one year
as a home inspector, and completion of at least 100 home inspections for compensation (3) current licensure in
Alabama as a general contractor, architect, structural engineer, or residential home builder.
