Home Inspection Cost in Florida

Standard home inspections in Florida run $250-$420 based on regional contractor pricing surveys. The lower end is typical for smaller homes in higher-density metros; the upper end reflects larger or older homes and full-service inspections with common add-ons.

What drives Florida inspection pricing

Florida home inspections run $250-$420 statewide, well below the national average — driven by the state's high contractor density, year-round inspection season, and large home-purchase volume. Florida is the only state with this published statewide range from HomeAdvisor.

Florida metro averages

Miami: $300-$425. Orlando: $275-$400. Tampa: $275-$400. Jacksonville: $250-$375.

Florida-specific considerations and add-ons

Florida-specific inspection add-ons are common: 4-point inspection for insurance ($75-$200), wind mitigation inspection ($75-$150, often required for hurricane-zone insurance discounts), and pool/spa ($75-$150). Florida's older condominiums in Miami-Dade and Broward counties typically require additional structural and milestone inspection reports following the 2021 Surfside collapse legislation.

Standard inspection scope

A standard pre-purchase home inspection typically takes 2-4 hours for a single-family home and covers: roof and exterior, foundation and structural elements, attic and insulation, plumbing system, electrical system, HVAC, kitchen and bathroom fixtures, visible walls and ceilings, doors and windows, and accessible appliances. The inspector provides a written report (typically 30-60 pages) within 24-48 hours.

Common add-ons that increase the total cost include radon testing ($125-$200), termite / wood-destroying-insect inspection ($75-$150), sewer scope ($150-$300), pool/spa inspection ($75-$150), and septic inspection ($300-$600). Most buyers add at least radon and termite for Florida homes.
