NOTE: The information provided by PAR deals only with the specifics of the Pennsylvania Home Inspection Law. PAR does not provide general information regarding the home inspection industry, as this information is best provided by home inspection associations directly. For example, the documents listed below will not answer general questions such as "How do I become a home inspector?" "What qualifications are necessary to join a home inspection association?" "Do I need to join a home inspection association?" or "Which home inspection association should I join?" If you are a current or prospective home inspector, we suggest that you contact the local chapter of one or more home inspection associations, or the Pennsylvania Home Inspectors Coalition (215-295-2030) for more information.

Certain provisions of the Home Inspection Law can be enforced by filing a complaint with the Bureau of Consumer Protection of the Office of the Attorney General. (NOTE: Violations of other provisions of the Law, such as failing to maintain insurance or providing a false "written representation" of Association membership are punishable by criminal penalties.)
