No state licensing fees reported for home inspectors in Georgia. Some states do not require a license to perform home inspections.
As of April 2026, Georgia does not require a state license to perform home inspections.
However, we strongly recommend obtaining voluntary certification through ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) or InterNACHI (International Association of Certified Home Inspectors) to build credibility, demonstrate competence to clients, and stay current with industry standards. Some local jurisdictions within Georgia may also have their own requirements.
