Utah home inspector course packages vary by what's included. Compare the options above to find the one that fits your goals. Every package from AHIT includes the Professional AHIT Home Inspector Course and exam prep tools built by AHIT experts. Higher-tier packages add more study materials and specialty certifications.

Every Utah home inspector course package from AHIT covers the 14 key components of a home inspection, home inspector Standards of Practice, and report writing, which prepares you for the National Home Inspector Examination and the certification Utah DOPL accepts for licensure. You'll also get business and marketing training to help you launch your inspection career, real-world inspection footage to bring concepts to life, and exam prep tools built by AHIT for the NHIE. Higher-tier packages add NHIE prep eTextbooks, Commercial Certification, and Online Radon Certification for inspectors who want to expand their service offerings.

Utah's new Private Home Inspector license requires certification from a DOPL-approved certifying organization rather than approval of individual pre-license courses. AHIT prepares you for the National Home Inspector Examination, which qualifies you for membership in the certifying organizations Utah DOPL accepts.

Most Utah candidates finish the online AHIT coursework in 4 to 8 weeks at a part-time pace. Your total timeline depends on your study schedule, when you sit for the NHIE, how long it takes to earn certification from a DOPL-approved organization, and how quickly the Division processes your license application.

The Utah home inspector course from AHIT runs online and is self-paced, so you can complete it from anywhere. AHIT also offers optional live, hands-on training that pairs with the online course if you'd rather get instructor time before your first inspection.

Once you finish the AHIT coursework, you'll sit for the National Home Inspector Examination, earn certification from a DOPL-approved certifying organization, secure $500,000 in both general liability and errors and omissions insurance, and submit your Private Home Inspector license application to the Utah Division of Professional Licensing. AHIT provides exam prep tools built by AHIT to help you prepare for the NHIE.

Plan on $3,500 to $6,500 in total startup costs. Utah's $500,000 insurance requirement and the certification path make this one of the more expensive states to enter. Here's the breakdown:

Most Utah candidates can complete the new licensing path in 2 to 4 months. New home inspector training runs 4 to 8 weeks. Securing both $500,000 insurance policies usually takes 1 to 2 weeks once you have quotes in hand.

Yes, as of January 1, 2026 under House Bill 58. Utah's Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL) now requires anyone performing private home inspections to hold a Private Home Inspector license. The license requires proof of certification from a DOPL-approved certifying organization (such as InterNACHI's CPI), $500,000 in general liability insurance, and $500,000 in errors and omissions insurance with DOPL named as the certificate holder.

Most candidates can complete the new licensing path in 2 to 4 months. Home inspection training runs 4 to 8 weeks, earning certification through InterNACHI or ASHI takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on the pathway, securing the $500,000 insurance policies takes 1 to 2 weeks, and DOPL processing time is still being established as the agency rolls out HB 58.

Plan on $3,500 to $6,500 in total startup costs. Utah's $500,000 insurance requirement (general liability plus E&O) makes this one of the more expensive states to enter. Key costs include home inspection training ($500 to $1,500), certification organization fees ($100 to $500), the DOPL license application (rate set by the agency), and the required insurance ($2,000 to $3,500 annually combined).

Utah's HB 58 framework is unusual in that it doesn't mandate specific home inspection education hours, but the underlying certifying organization (InterNACHI or ASHI) sets its own training and exam requirements. The $500,000 insurance requirement is significantly higher than most states, which can be a barrier for new inspectors. Most candidates who complete reputable training and pursue InterNACHI CPI or ASHI ACI certification can meet the requirements in 2 to 4 months.

Utah home inspectors earn between $55,500 and $58,275 on average, with Salary.com reporting $58,275 statewide as of 2026. Salt Lake City-area inspectors and those serving Provo and the broader Wasatch Front typically earn at the higher end of the range. Rural Utah inspectors may earn closer to the middle of the range.

Track DOPL communications for renewal notices and verify current renewal requirements with the agency. To maintain your Private Home Inspector license active status, you'll need to keep your certifying organization status current and maintain current $500,000 in general liability and $500,000 in E&O insurance with DOPL as certificate holder.
