Price

What drives the cost of rental certification inspection in Farmington

  • Number of units and whether the building has common areas
  • Pre-inspection only versus pre-inspection plus repairs
  • Lead-safe paint repairs on pre-1978 properties
  • Re-inspections after failed items
  • Condition and age of alarms, wiring and mechanical equipment
  • The municipality's own inspection fees and schedule
  • The age of the home: the typical Farmington home was built around 1966, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Farmington

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Farmington was built around 1966. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Mid-century and newer systems

Most homes here date from 1966 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.

Permits: check with the Farmington building department before work starts.
