Today's topic is a frequently asked question about home inspections in Minnesota. In short, no. Home inspectors do not need to be licensed in Minnesota. Those cheeseheads in Wisconsin require licensing, but we don't. It has always been this way in Minnesota, and I hope it stays this way.
Yep, you heard me right. I'm not a fan of licensing. As the owner of a professional home inspection company operating in this state for over 30 years, you'd think I might be a fan of licensing. If licensing came, it would eliminate a bunch of weekend-warrior home inspectors who do this as a side gig and don't take the profession seriously, right? Yeah, it would probably eliminate a few of those folks, but that's only one side of the coin.
