How Does a North Carolina Home Inspector Bond Work?
A home inspector bond creates a legal contract between these three parties:
- Principal: You, the home inspector filing the bond
- Obligee: The Department of Insurance, Home Inspector Licensure Board requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of Article 9F of Chapter 143 of the North Carolina General Statutes.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your home inspector bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
