What to do next
- Do not rely on a claimed 'state license' for a Michigan home inspector unless the person shows another credential type that is actually searchable in an official Michigan system. ([michigan.gov](https://www.michigan.gov/lara/bureau-list/bpl/miplus?utm_source=openai))
- If your issue is with a business transaction or alleged deception by a home inspector, use the Attorney General consumer-complaint process and attach contracts, reports, and correspondence. ([michigan.gov](https://www.michigan.gov/consumerprotection/complaints?utm_source=openai))
- If someone claims to hold a Michigan professional or occupational license, verify that credential in MiPLUS before hiring. ([michigan.gov](https://www.michigan.gov/lara/bureau-list/bpl/miplus?utm_source=openai))
