  • Efficiency: Standard inspections are designed for speed, typically requiring only 5–6 minutes on-site.
  • Consistency: Enjoy stable, month-to-month volume in your assigned county.

Workflow & Responsibilities

  • Reliable, fuel-efficient vehicle.
  • Smartphone (Android or iPhone) capable of running mobile reporting apps.
  • Computer with an internet connection and a printer.
  • Strong time-management skills to meet deadlines without direct supervision.
  • Ability to pass a standard background check.

  • Earning Potential: While pay is per-inspection, efficient contractors typically earn the equivalent of $25–$35 per hour.
  • Volume: Rates and inspection volume vary by county. Lower volume counties typically feature higher per-inspection rates, while higher volume counties offer more consistent daily work.
  • This Territory: Juab County averages approximately 5 inspections per month.
