Phillip Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hi, I am on our local chapter politician committee. I would like some information from you if you can give it to me. I would like to know how long is the length of the liability time of your inspections in your state? What The law it is under and how I can find it? In my state it is a lifetime. We are looking at ways to have it changed. Also do you have to have business licenses in each little town you do inspections in? Thanks for your help.

I have a clause in my inspection agreement for 1 year to file a suit maximum. Georgia regulations for HI web site is below. Doctors give no warranty, home builders of the crap give 1 year. I do not think they are legally obligated to even give the year. I think there is something wrong with this picture. www.state.ga.us/cgi-bin/pub/ocode Also www.ga.gov may lead you some where helpful. Business license in Ga. bought in one county or city covers the whole State. Paul Burrell Lawrenceville, Ga. Good luck and hang tough!!!

carle3 Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 The State of Wisconsin limits libilty to two years although no limitation on dollar amounts. The controlling agency is the Department of Regulation and Licensing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 In Florida the Statute of Limitations is three years for work performed without a contract and four years if there is an executed contract governing the work. Also in Florida state law requires a business to have an occupational license in the county and city where the physical office is located. Satellite offices are not required to have separate or additional licences. NORM SAGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Kibbel Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Pennsylvania is pretty clear. "An action to recover damages arising from a home inspection report must be commenced within one year after the date the report is delivered". Chapter 75 starts on page 7. http://www.parealtor.org/content/AssetMgmt/Legal%20Services/Laws%20&%20Regulations/Dislcosure%20-%20Inspection.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
