When underwriting requests a HUD-92051 Compliance Inspection Report (CIR) for an FHA or other applicable HUD-backed loan file, I inspect the property, complete the HUD-92051 based on conditions observed that day, and deliver the completed form the same day. Required corrections are documented on the form; the builder or seller is responsible for making them. If corrections are made, a reinspection visit is required at $125 per trip — schedule by email after all corrections are complete.
Pricing
HUD-92051 Compliance Inspection — $230. Includes the site inspection and completion and delivery of the HUD-92051 based on conditions observed during that visit. If corrections are required, they are documented on the form; the completed HUD-92051 is still delivered the same day.
Reinspection — $125. If corrections are made, a reinspection visit is required. The fee for this is $125 per trip. Please ensure that all corrections are made prior to scheduling a re-inspection. Re-inspections can be scheduled by email.
This is a specialized compliance service, priced separately from general TREC home inspections (which start at $230+). Travel charges may apply for some properties in extended service areas and are based on the IRS mileage rate.
The published $230 rate assumes you schedule the inspection online. After booking, routine follow-up by email or text to collect lender, builder, FHA case, mortgagor, contact, and other loan-file information needed for the HUD-92051 is included in that fee. Substantial additional coordination, phone time, manual scheduling, or unusual back-and-forth beyond the normal process may be billed separately — I'll let you know if that applies.
What is an FHA Compliance Inspection Report?
The HUD-92051 Compliance Inspection Report (sometimes requested as a "92051" or "CIR", or as an FHA Compliance Inspection Report) is a code compliance inspection report used for a small number of HUD-backed loans (FHA/VA). In many cases, files are selected close to closing — but a file can also be selected after closing.
The purpose is to document items that don't meet applicable building code relative to HUD quality standards. Selection is typically random and not a reflection of the borrower, builder, location, or lender.
When is it needed?
Underwriting will notify the builder, lender, and Realtors® when a file is selected. This inspection should only be ordered when underwriting has specifically requested a HUD-92051 CIR.
How does it work?
- Schedule online. Enter the property address, scheduling contacts, and other information requested in the scheduler. I will follow up after booking for any additional information needed to complete the HUD-92051.
- Site inspection. I visit the property and document applicable code compliance items for the HUD-92051.
- Same-day HUD-92051. I complete and deliver the HUD-92051 the same day, including any required correction items on the form. I do not hold the HUD-92051 open while waiting for corrections, and the initial fee does not include ongoing correction management, multi-party coordination, or unlimited follow-up calls.
- Reinspection. The builder or seller makes corrections. If corrections are made, a reinspection visit is required at $125 per trip. Complete all corrections before scheduling; re-inspections can be scheduled by email.
What I need from you
Schedule the inspection online first. After scheduling, I will contact you for any additional lender, builder, FHA case, mortgagor, contact, or loan-file information needed to complete the HUD-92051.
Coverage & scheduling
Greater Houston area. Book through the online scheduler; I normally deliver the completed HUD-92051 the same day as the inspection. Appointment availability depends on the calendar; same-day form delivery applies once the inspection is performed.
Note: This service is a lender compliance inspection and not a full TREC home inspection. If you're looking for a standard home inspection, see inspection services.
FAQs
When is HUD-92051 required?
Only when underwriting notifies the parties that the file was selected and requests a HUD-92051 Compliance Inspection Report (CIR). It should not be ordered just in case.
What does a HUD-92051 inspection cover?
It focuses on documenting building code compliance items required for the HUD loan file. It is not the same scope as a full TREC home inspection.
How much does a HUD-92051 / FHA Compliance Inspection Report cost?
The initial HUD-92051 compliance inspection is $230. If corrections are made, a reinspection visit is required at $125 per trip. Complete all corrections before scheduling a re-inspection; re-inspections can be scheduled by email. This is a specialized compliance service, priced separately from general TREC home inspections (which start at $230+). Travel charges may apply at the IRS mileage rate for some properties.
What's included in the $230 fee?
The site inspection and completion and delivery of the HUD-92051 based on conditions observed that day. It does not include ongoing correction management, multi-party coordination, unlimited follow-up calls, or free reinspections.
Do you deliver the HUD-92051 if corrections are required?
Yes. Required corrections are documented on the form, and the completed HUD-92051 is delivered the same day as the inspection.
Do I have to pay for every correction to be reinspected?
No. If corrections are made, a reinspection visit is required. The fee is $125 per trip, not per individual correction item. Each additional trip is another $125.
How fast is the turnaround?
I normally deliver the completed HUD-92051 the same calendar day as the inspection. Appointment availability depends on the scheduler; form delivery applies once the inspection has been performed.
Does the builder need to be present?
No. Someone must provide access to the property. A builder representative may be helpful on site for access or questions, but presence is not required for me to complete and deliver the HUD-92051.
Can items be cleared with photos or video?
The initial service is the inspection and same-day HUD-92051. I do not include free photo or video verification of corrections. If corrections are made, a reinspection visit is required at $125 per trip — schedule by email after all corrections are complete.
Is HUD-92051 selection a reflection of the borrower or builder?
Typically no. Selection is generally random and not based on the borrower, builder, location, or lender.
