The Ohio Home Inspector Board exists within the Division of Real Estate & Professional Licensing to regulate the licensure and performance of home inspectors. The seven-member board has adopted rules related to standards for conducting home inspections, education and experience requirements, prohibitions against conflicts of interest, etc. Disciplinary hearings and appeals of Superintendent decisions fall under the authority of this board. Five members of the board are Ohio-licensed home inspectors appointed by the Governor. The two remaining members are both consumer advocates; one appointed by the Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, the other by the Ohio Senate President.
