REPORT CHECKLIST SUPPLEMENT
This checklist will assist in assuring that a home inspection report complies with
The Arizona Standards of Professional Practice for Home Inspectors
For use by: Applicants, Supervising Certified Inspectors, Application Reviewers, Certified
Inspectors, and Enforcement Advisory Assessors.
Applicants Please Note:
The purpose of an inspection report is to provide the client with a better understanding of the
property conditions. The Board of Technical Registration has adopted Standards of Professional Practice for Arizona Home
Inspectors (available on the Board web site or upon request) to set the guidelines for reporting that will provide this
understanding.
Each home inspection report is required to meet the Arizona Standards of Professional Practice.
Each submitted report will be evaluated for compliance with the following criteria:
1. Observation and description of observed systems and component:
Observe:
The act of making a visual examination of a system or component and
reporting on its condition.
Describe:
Report in writing a system or component by its type, or other characteristics,
to distinguish it from other components used for the same purpose.
2. Explanation of adverse conditions and recommendations for remedies (such as “review by qualified
professional, service by qualified professional, correction by qualified professional”).
These criteria will apply to all systems and components that are applicable to the property inspected, as set forth in the Standards
of Professional Practice for Arizona Home Inspectors and in the Arizona Administrative Code, Title 4, Chapter 30.
Applicants Please Note:
COMPLETING AND SENDING IN THIS CHECKLIST WITH YOUR APPLICATION, AND
DIRECTLY ADDRESSING ALL ITEMS IN THIS CHECKLIST UPON SUBMITTAL, CAN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE
THE AMOUNT OF TIME REQUIRED TO PROCESS YOUR APPLICATION. (Consider placing the number listed at the left
hand side of the checklist, at the corresponding location in your report. As an example: where your report describes the date of
the inspection, place a circled number 2 nearby).
Supervising Certified Inspectors Please Note:
As the supervising certified inspector conducting parallel
Inspections, you are responsible for verifying that the applicant’s report meets the states minimum standards for home inspection
reports, and must provide a sworn statement that the parallel home inspections complies with the standards identified in rule R4-
30-301.01(A). Use this checklist as a guideline for compliance.
Application Reviewers and Enforcement Advisory Assessors Please Note:
Many different terms are likely to be used
to describe satisfactory or unsatisfactory conditions in a home inspection report. Various terms will be acceptable, if these words
reasonably convey positive or negative conditions. Any “immediate major repair” items must also include recommendations to
correct, monitor or evaluate by appropriate persons.
Certified Inspectors Please Note:
All Home Inspections and Inspection reports must comply with the Arizona Standards of
Professional Practice. Use this checklist as a guideline to ensure your continued compliance.
