Minneapolis Inspections

The city of Minneapolis has several types of Home Inspections. Some are required (Truth in Housing or Building Permit Inspections) and some are not (Buyer and Seller Inspections).

Buyer and Seller Home Inspections

I provide buyer and seller Minneapolis Home Inspections in the Twin Cities metro area. The city of Minneapolis does not over see these types of inspections. The buyer Home Inspection is for the potential buyer of a home. The seller Home Inspection is for the seller of a home when they would like to know of issues that might be found by a Home Inspector when conducting a Home Inspection. But don’t confuse the seller Home Inspection with a Truth in Housing Inspection that is controlled by the city of Minneapolis.

Whether you need a Condo Inspection or a Home Inspection for a Single Family Home or Townhouse you want a Home Inspector who has the ethics, experience and trust of the realtors in the Minneapolis area. Check out my Home Inspection Sample Report page to see several examples of my Inspection Reports.

Truth in Housing Inspections

Truth in Housing Inspections are REQUIRED inspections whenever any home is put on the market in the city of Minneapolis. These are limited inspections that are looking for code violations and other safety issues that are performed by inspectors that are licensed through Minneapolis. These Inspections usually take about 45 minutes and are not as thorough as a Buyer or Seller Home Inspection. At this time I do not provide Truth in Housing Inspections in Minneapolis.

Building Permit Inspections

Whenever you build a home or add onto a home you need to get a Building Permit from the city of Minneapolis. During the construction the city will send an inspector to the site (at the cities discretion) to verify that the construction is being done properly and up to code. To get a Minneapolis Building Permit you need to contact the city of Minneapolis and talk to them about the permit and inspection process.
