What these requirements involve
Point-of-sale inspection
A point-of-sale (POS) inspection is a city housing inspection done before a home changes hands. The inspector lists code violations. They must be fixed before transfer, or the buyer takes them on with money held in escrow. Read the guide.
Septic or well inspection
Where a home is not on public sewer or water, the county board of health may need to evaluate the septic system or test the well before the sale. Read the guide.
