How to find a licensed Minneapolis TISH evaluator
Only evaluators licensed by the City of Minneapolis can perform a Truth in Sale of Housing inspection. Here's how to find one, what to ask before booking, and what TopDollarReport does after the report is complete.
1. Use the official city list
The City of Minneapolis maintains the only authoritative list of currently licensed Truth in Sale of Housing evaluators. Always start here — third-party directories are often outdated.
Official Minneapolis TISH evaluator list2. Questions to ask before booking
- What's your flat rate for my property type and how many units?
- Is the re-inspection fee included if items are corrected?
- How quickly do you file the report with the city after the visit?
- Do you provide a digital PDF of the completed evaluation?
- Are you currently licensed in Minneapolis (verify against the city list)?
3. Red flags to avoid
- Anyone offering to "skip" or shortcut TISH requirements (illegal under Chapter 248)
- Evaluators not on the official city list
- Bundled "repair + inspect" offers from the same vendor — that's a conflict of interest
- Refusal to provide a digital copy of your TISH report
4. After your report is complete
Once the evaluator delivers your TISH PDF, upload it to TopDollarReport. We classify every finding (RRE, RRP, LIC), estimate Twin Cities contractor cost ranges, and generate a seller compliance PDF plus an investor one-pager — usually in under 90 seconds.

Minneapolis TISH evaluator FAQ
- Where is the official list of licensed Minneapolis TISH evaluators?
- The City of Minneapolis maintains the only authoritative list of currently licensed Truth in Sale of Housing evaluators on its Business Licenses site. Always start there — third-party directories are often outdated and may include evaluators whose licenses have lapsed.
- Do I have to use a city-licensed evaluator?
- Yes. Only evaluators currently licensed by the City of Minneapolis can perform a Truth in Sale of Housing inspection that satisfies Chapter 248. A report from an unlicensed inspector cannot be filed with the city and will not clear the disclosure requirement before listing.
- What should I ask before booking an evaluator?
- Confirm the flat rate for your property type and unit count, whether re-inspection is included if items are corrected, how quickly the evaluator files the report with the city after the visit, whether you'll receive a digital PDF, and that they're currently on the official Minneapolis license list.
- What are red flags when hiring a TISH evaluator?
- Avoid anyone offering to skip or shortcut TISH requirements (illegal under Chapter 248), evaluators not on the official city list, bundled "repair + inspect" offers from the same vendor (a conflict of interest), and any evaluator who refuses to provide a digital copy of your TISH report.
- What happens after the evaluator delivers my TISH PDF?
- Once you have the PDF, upload it to TopDollarReport. We classify every finding as RRE, RRP, or LIC, estimate current Twin Cities contractor cost ranges, and generate a seller compliance PDF plus an investor one-pager — typically in under 90 seconds.
- How long does a TISH inspection take?
- A standard single-family TISH visit takes about 60–90 minutes on site. Duplexes and triplexes take longer because each unit is evaluated independently. Most evaluators file the completed report with the city within a few business days.
