Technical Bulletin #26-02, 5.4.26
Subject: Third-Party Inspections Policy Update
Summary:
Land Development Services (LDS) is updating its Residential Third-Party Inspections Policy to enhance compliance with regulatory standards and ensure inspectors are appropriately qualified. The updated policy now extends the amount of time Third-Party firms have to submit their reports. The updated policy also eases the licensing requirements so firms will qualify by holding at least one Class A contractor’s license issued through DPOR, rather than all classifications.
Effective Date:
Immediately.
Background:
The recent updates to the Residential Third-Party Inspections Policy aim to improve clarity, reduce unnecessary barriers, and increase flexibility for participating firms. The policy now corrects a typographical error in Section 100 of the code section, extends the timeframe for Third-Party firms to submit their inspection reports, and revises the licensing requirement so that firms need only hold at least one Class A contractor’s license issued through DPOR instead of all classifications. These changes are designed to support a larger pool of qualified firms, facilitate timely and accurate reporting, and strengthen the overall effectiveness and accessibility of the third-party inspection process—ultimately helping to ensure consistent compliance and protect community safety.
