The initial license for a home inspector issued in accordance with KRS 198B.700 to
198B.738, shall expire on the last day of the licensee's birth month in the following
year. The board may reduce the license fee on a pro rata basis for initial licenses
issued for less than twelve (12) months.
Renewed licenses shall expire on the last day of the licensee's birth month of each
even numbered year after the date of issuance of the renewed license.
An individual who applies to renew a license as a licensed home inspector shall:
(a) Furnish evidence showing successful completion of the continuing education
requirements of this section;
(b) Pay the renewal fee and late fee, if applicable, established by the board;
(c) Show proof of general liability insurance in the amount required by KRS
198B.712(3)(d); and
(d) Submit a recent background check performed by the Kentucky State Police.
Renewal notices shall be sent to each licensee at least sixty (60) days prior to the
expiration of the license. The notice shall inform the licensee of the need to renew
and the requirement of payment of the renewal fee.
Renewal and applicable late fees shall be paid with a credit card, a draft, a money
order, a cashier's check, a certified or other personal check, or, if payment is made
in person, the payment may be made in cash. If the board receives an uncertified
personal check for the renewal fee and if the check does not clear the bank, the
board may refuse to renew the license.
Each licensee shall complete the continuing education required by the board prior to
applying for license renewal. This requirement shall not exceed thirty (30) hours per
two (2) year license cycle.
The board may, through the promulgation of administrative regulations:
(a) Establish an inactive license for licensees who are not actively engaging in the
home inspection business but wish to maintain their license;
(b) Reduce license and renewal fees for inactive licenses; and
(c) Waive the insurance requirements established in KRS 198B.712 for inactive
licenses.
