The Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) requires that anyone who inspects more than one component of a building or structure must have a CCB license and be an Oregon Certified Home Inspector (OCHI). Certified Inspectors are required to provide a written report of their findings for fee paid inspections.

To become certified, an individual must prove their eligibility through related experience and training in the field. Once experience is verified, the individual may sit for the OCHI test. Certified inspectors are required to complete a minimum of 30 hours of continuing education every other year in order to renew their certification.

Home Inspections are governed by ORS 701 and OAR 812. Click here to view the home inspection consumer notice provided by the CCB.
