Many States require you to be tested and licensed by their State Agency; to inspect for their local government AHJs.
A. What does your State and/or Local AHJs accept or require?
B. If State License is required; will your State waive testing; and license you; if you have the ICC Certification?
C. Does your State require and/or accept ICC Certifications?
Texas only requires a Plumbing Inspector's License; issued by the State; to inspect plumbing for a government AHJ. ICC Plumbing Certifcation does not waive State testing for licensing.
There are no State requirements for Inspectors who inspect Building, Mechanical, and Electrical. You don't even have to have ICC Certification. Each AHJ independently decides on the requirements.
I have seen Inspectors hired by local AHJs in Texas with no certification. Most do "prefer" ICC Certification, and require you to obtain a State Plumbing Inspector's License within a specified time limit after hire.
