Attention: New Jersey Licensed Architect:
Attached is an application for licensure pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:27-4.12 et seq. Scope of practice; Home Inspections.
This law provides that a Board-licensed architect may apply to the Board for certication of eligibility for licensure
as a home inspector.
For your guidance you will nd a copy of the regulation governing the licensure of home inspectors and an application
listing all the required information for submission. If you meet the Boards education, training and experience require-
ments, please complete the application and return it accompanied with a check or money order in the amount of
$125.00 (an application fee) made payable to the New Jersey State Board of Architects.
Also, please be advised that N.J.S.A. 45:8-76 and N.J.S.C. 13:40-15.8, require that every licensed home inspector and
associate home inspector engaged in the profession of home inspection shall secure, maintain and le with the Home
Inspection Advisory Committee, proof of a certicate of an errors and omissions insurance policy in the minimum amount
of $500,000.00 per occurrence. Therefore, please instruct your insurance carrier to submit proof of this coverage
by providing an original certicate of insurance, stating all individuals covered under the policy, directly to the
Board of Architects. Copies or Facsimiles will not be accepted. If the certicate of insurance is in the name of the
company, the insurance carrier must inform the Committee ofce of the individual(s) who are covered by the listing
their name(s). Finally, the Home Inspection Advisory Committee must be referenced as a certicate holder in the
event that the policy is renewed, altered or canceled.
