Oregon Certified Home Inspectors (OCHI) are licensed by the Oregon CCB to perform professional home inspections on residential properties. There are currently 648 active OCHI licenses in Oregon - a relatively small and specialized group within the broader CCB licensing system.

A home inspector's role is fundamentally different from a contractor's: home inspectors assess and report, they do not repair. An Oregon Certified Home Inspector evaluates the condition of a residential property's major systems - structural components, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, and exterior - and produces a written report documenting findings. This report is typically used in real estate transactions to inform buyers and sellers about the property's condition.

OCHI certification in Oregon requires significant continuing education: 30 continuing education units every 24 months, drawn from approved subject areas including home inspection practice, report writing, and building systems knowledge. Home inspectors can earn CE credits through coursework, ride-alongs with licensed tradespeople, and service as officers of professional associations. This ongoing education requirement reflects the breadth of knowledge a home inspector must maintain across all residential building systems.

When hiring an Oregon home inspector, verify the OCHI license is Active at CCB Lookup and check that the certification has not lapsed. A home inspector operating with an expired OCHI license cannot legally perform inspections in Oregon. For real estate transactions, ask your real estate agent or attorney whether additional certifications (such as radon testing or mold assessment) are advisable for the specific property.

Frequently Asked Questions - Oregon Certified Home Inspectors

An OCHI-licensed inspector evaluates the condition of a residential property's major systems and components: structural elements, roofing, exterior, electrical system, plumbing, HVAC, insulation and ventilation, and interior components including doors, windows, and floors. The inspector produces a written report documenting findings. Home inspectors assess and report - they do not perform repairs or provide cost estimates for remediation.

Oregon Certified Home Inspectors must complete 30 continuing education units every 24 months prior to their certification expiration date. CE can be earned through approved coursework, by accompanying a licensed plumber, electrician, or HVAC contractor on a job lasting at least 4 hours (1 unit per qualifying job), by hosting ride-alongs with home inspector applicants, or by serving as an officer of a professional home inspector association (1 unit per year of service).

A home inspection is not legally required in Oregon real estate transactions, but it is strongly recommended. The inspection report informs buyers about the condition of the property before purchase and can be used to negotiate repairs or price adjustments. For homes built before 1978, ask whether the inspector is also qualified to assess lead-based paint risks. Always verify the inspector's OCHI license is Active before commissioning an inspection.

An OCHI (Oregon Certified Home Inspector) is an individual certification for the person performing inspections. An RHISC (Home Inspector Services Contractor) is a business-level license for the company providing inspection services. A home inspection company holds an RHISC; the inspector who performs your inspection holds an OCHI. Verify both when hiring a home inspection company.
