✅ Who Should Take This Course?

This course is built for Florida-licensed home inspectors renewing an active or inactive license with the DBPR, including:

• Licensed Florida home inspectors renewing before the July 31 deadline in even-numbered years
• Home inspectors who still need their required hurricane and wind mitigation training hours
• Inspectors renewing a Florida home inspector license for the first time
• Inspectors with an inactive Florida home inspector license, who must also complete CE
• Home inspectors who missed the deadline and need CE hours to renew a delinquent license
• Busy inspectors who want to finish all 14 hours in one affordable online course

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the Florida Requirement?

Yes. This DBPR-approved course is designed to satisfy the full 14-hour continuing education requirement for Florida home inspector license renewal, including the required 2 hours of hurricane mitigation training. The wind mitigation portion of the course covers hurricane mitigation techniques and the Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form (OIR-B1-1802), as required by Florida law.

Completing the course does not renew your license by itself — you must still submit your renewal and pay the state renewal fee through the DBPR. If you hold other Florida licenses, such as a contractor or mold-related services license, those licenses have separate CE requirements that this course does not cover. Always confirm your remaining requirements on your official license record.

✅ Florida Home Inspector CE Requirements

Under Section 468.8316, Florida Statutes, licensed home inspectors must complete at least 14 hours of DBPR-approved continuing education during each two-year renewal cycle. The requirement applies to both active and inactive licensees and breaks down as follows:

• 14 total CE hours every two-year renewal cycle
• At least 2 of those hours must be hurricane mitigation training, including hurricane mitigation techniques and compliance with the Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form (OIR-B1-1802)
• The remaining 12 hours must be Department-approved courses related to home inspection services

CE may be completed through approved online courses, and your CE provider reports your completed hours to the DBPR. Keep your certificate of completion for your records. If you do not complete the required hours on time, the DBPR may require up to 25 percent additional hours.

How this course helps: This single package provides all 14 required hours — the dedicated wind mitigation training covers the required 2-hour hurricane mitigation component, including the OIR-B1-1802 form, and the remaining modules cover the home inspection subjects that make up the other 12 hours. No additional CE courses are needed for a standard Florida home inspector renewal.

✅ When Do Florida Home Inspectors Renew?

Florida home inspector licenses expire on July 31 of every even-numbered year, and renewals must be completed before midnight Eastern Time on that date. The DBPR sends renewal notifications by email approximately 90 to 120 days before your license expires.

If you miss the July 31 deadline, your license becomes delinquent and a $25 delinquent fee is added to the standard renewal fees. You can regain active status by completing your CE and submitting your renewal with the applicable fees.

✅ How to Renew Your Florida Home Inspector License

Step 1: Sign in to your account at MyFloridaLicense.com and confirm your license status, expiration date, and any outstanding CE hours.

Step 2: Complete all 14 CE hours, including the 2 hours of hurricane mitigation training, before the July 31 deadline in your renewal year.

Step 3: Allow your provider to report your hours — 1st Choice CE reports completions to the DBPR within 24 hours — and keep your emailed certificate for your records.

Step 4: Renew online through the DBPR's online services at MyFloridaLicense.com, or renew by mail or by phone through the DBPR Customer Contact Center if you prefer.

Step 5: Review and update your contact information, then submit your renewal application and pay the renewal fee (currently $105 for an active license renewal).

Step 6: Save your receipt and confirm that your license shows an active status with a new expiration date on your official license record.
