2025-2027 Special Inspector Registration Renewal Application

Please use this link to submit the following documentation, as applicable, to renew your registration for 2025-2027. Failure to submit required documentation, in addition to the online renewal application, by June 30, 2023, will result in your registration not being renewed. If all documents and fees are not received or postmarked by June 30, 2025, the registration is LAPSED. A late fee of $50, in addition to the $50 renewal fee, may be applied from July 1, 2025 through August 28, 2025, during which time the licensee may submit the renewal application and supplemental documentation. After August 28, 2025, you must reinstate the registration by submitting a new application and proof of having completed the required 24 hours of approved continuing education.

1. Continuing Education
   • For continuing education requirements please see the Continuing Education Requirements for Renewal tab below.

2. Certifications
   • All new certifications not previously submitted/dated between 7/1/2023-6/30/2025.

3. Legal Name Change
   • If you have had a legal name change since your last application, please submit any applicable legal documentation with your renewal application (marriage certificate, divorce decree, court documentation, etc.).

4. Explanatory Statement of “Yes” Answers
   • If you answered “yes” to any of the background history questions on the renewal application, you must complete the paper renewal application and submit it with the Explanatory Statement of "Yes" Answers and any supporting documentation (i.e. board order, criminal background check, etc.).

Twenty-four (24) hours of continuing education are required per two-year registration cycle. The reporting period is from July 1st to June 30th of each odd numbered year, and hours cannot be carried over to the next registration cycle.

If this is your first renewal and you have been registered for less than twenty-four (24) months, your required continuing education hours may be prorated. Please see Regulation 8-150 to determine how many hours of continuing education are required for your renewal.

More information about Continuing Education can be found here.

2025-2027 Special Inspector Registration Late Renewal Fee: $50 in addition to the renewal fee

What do I need to do if the online renewal does not ask me to upload my Continuing Education hours?

If you are not prompted to upload your proof of continuing education at the start of the online renewal, it means that the Building Codes Council has already documented your hours and you are eligible to complete the renewal online.
