This is a 1099 position. Each inspection has a flat rate that varies based on county and volume. Although you are paid per inspection, you will earn the equivalent of $30‑$40 per hour
.

Depending on the county and whether it is urban or rural, you will complete anywhere from 20 to 500 inspections per month, working 2 to 30 hours per week. Lower‑volume counties have higher rates, and higher‑volume counties have lower rates. There is no set number of inspections per month, but the work is consistent month‑to‑month.

Earn more as you become established, have greater availability to inspect, or are willing to cover a larger territory.

No additional mileage reimbursement above the flat fee per inspection.
