Note: HUD's Inspector Roster was eliminated, effective August 2, 2018, per Federal Register Docket No. FR-5457-F-02, dated July 3, 2018.

The Inspectors page provides a list of FHA-approved inspectors based on a specific location, inspector name, ID number, or status (see also field descriptions for the following pages: Inspectors, Inspectors List).

Requesting an Inspectors List

To request a list of FHA-approved inspectors, perform the following steps:

1. On the Inspectors page, specify the order of your results by selecting one of the choices in the Sorted by drop-down list.  Results are presented in alphabetical order, A-Z, or numerical order, 0-9.

2. Then enter at least one of the following requirements.
   

   Note: Where indicated, you may enter partial information (one or more characters) to retrieve records (inspectors) that correspond with the entered criteria, e.g., entering "P" in the Last Name field retrieves all inspectors with names beginning with "P." If multiple fields allow a partial entry and partial information is entered, all specified criteria are searched and only matching information is retrieved/displayed.

   •	Approval State: Select the approval state from the drop-down list. If All States is selected, an additional requirement such as a specific Last Name must be entered.
   •	ID Number: Type the full or partial identifying code for a specific inspector or a list of inspectors with similar identification numbers.
   •	Last Name: Type a full or partial inspector last name for a list of inspectors with the same or similar last names.
   •	City: Type a full or partial city name for a list of inspectors located in a specific city or in cities with similar names.
   •	Zip Code: Type a full or partial zip code for a list of inspectors located in the same or similar zip code area.

3. To further customize and streamline results, change the default selection for the Status field.

4. Click Send. If information is found based on the specifications you entered, the Inspectors List page appears with selected information. A message at the top of the page states: Inspectors successfully completed.
