The way I’m reading that is that they don’t want any bonding done on piping that belongs to them. Does this pipe belong to the owner or the gas company?

It is on the inside of the garage, after the gas has run through the gas companies meter, so therefore I believe it is owned by the homeowner.

Leave it alone and mind your own business, it was installed long ago and you will be embarrassed when the judge asks why? What is a “UFER”?

I would say that they are safe with the gas company, then. From here the code book takes over.

Code book?
Since when does the Home Inspector quote the Code, that's a cardinal sin according to some here!
Home Inspectors are not Electrical Inspectors!

Service ground attached to rebar encased in foundation…
A Ufer ground (invented by Herb Ufer in the 1950's) consists of metal bars that are encased in concrete and buried a few feet underground. Approved by the NEC as a "Concrete Encased Electrode," a Ufer grounding system has an advantage in soils where rock or other barriers prevent deeply driving a single ground rod. If properly sized, the large mass of concrete can achieve an acceptable earth ground impedance even when buried only a few feet deep.
