In Alabama, home inspectors must register with the state (Alabama Department of Finance, Division of Construction Management); it is a registration, not a full license. You can check a name yourself on Home/EIFS Inspector Roster Search.
Home inspectors in Alabama: what buyers ask
How much does a home inspection cost?
No federal agency sets or publishes a home inspection price. HUD says FHA performs none, and EPA says fix radon at 4 pCi/L or more.
What must a seller disclose in Alabama?
Alabama does not require a home seller to deliver a disclosure form in the statutes reviewed. The written duty falls on licensed agents, who must disclose known latent structural defects (Code of Alabama 34-27-36), with fines of $100 to $5,000. Fraud statutes apply to all sellers.
