State guide
Arizona
Arizona certifies home inspectors through the State Board of Technical Registration rather than licensing them through a contractor board. The Board's public site provides the registrant search, complaint intake, disciplinary actions, and applicant guidance for classroom training, exams, and parallel inspections.

Key facts for Arizona
- Arizona certifies home inspectors under A.R.S. § 32-122.02 through the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration.
- Applicants must pass a board-approved written exam within two years before applying; the Board's applicant page identifies the National Home Inspector Examination.
- The official applicant page requires proof of at least 84 hours of classroom training under R4-30-247(5).
- Arizona also requires evidence of 30 parallel home inspections with a supervising certified home inspector present.
- Initial applicants must submit a valid DPS fingerprint clearance card.
- Within 60 days after certification and before fee-based inspections, a home inspector must file financial assurance: either E&O insurance of $200,000 aggregate/$100,000 per occurrence, or a $25,000 bond or proof of $25,000 net assets.
What to do next
- Use the Board's registered professional search and open the registrant profile, because Arizona says disciplinary action within the last five years appears in the profile.
- If you plan to complain, gather the inspection report, photos, contract, and any ads or website materials before using the Board's online complaint portal.
- When comparing applicants, confirm all three Arizona-specific entry pieces: 84 classroom hours, NHIE passage, and 30 parallel inspections.
