The Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) will begin requiring radon professionals to be licensed on July 31st, 2022 through the newly created Colorado Office of Radon Professionals.

Applications for measurement and mitigation licenses are now open. According to the included informational flyer below, “An applicant must be certified through either the National Radon Proficiency Program [NRPP] or the National Radon Safety Board [NRSB].”

InterNACHI offers a free, online course “Radon Measurement Professional Initial Training Course” to members that will qualify them to take the NRPP’s certification exam and therefore Colorado’s educational requirement.

The flyer says we are “required to be licensed by July 1, 2022”, not July 31st 2022.

Hi Evan,

I think some of their materials may have had different dates. I took that 07/31st date from email correspondence I’ve had with the agency; however, in looking at the front website, I also see the date as July 1st, 2022.

Seems to be a bit chaotic.

After searching extensively for the Colorado Radon License Fee, I thought I would simply call DORA (Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies). After being on hold for a surprisingly brief time, I was told the fee was not on their website. The person I spoke with said the “fee for a radon license is $435.00, for testing or mitigation”.

I had someone there tell me the application fee was only $35. Talk about a disorganized bunch of…

Did they say that $435 was annual or just for the first one with a lesser renewal rate?

That’s all I was told. Didn’t get any details. I did say “that’s high” and the DORA person on the phone said “yes, it is high”. Would be great if it was $35.00. I was hoping for around $50.00.

Well…I just called DORA again and was again told the radon license fee will be $435.00 this year. The DORA representative said annual renewal may be less but they wont know that until around 6 weeks out from the next licensing cycle/year. :worried:

Go figure. The whole thing has been a snite show from day one…

Has there been any update to this information? Such as the fees, or the start date - either 1July or 31July? There was a previous post made last year by Nick Gromiko stating that IAC2 members were exempt from this licensure, is that true? Thanks in advance for any info.

@mgiles , Nick @gromicko never responded to the IAC2 thread. The new law goes into effect July 1st, 2022. Evan posted the fees above :point_up_2:. If you are not NRPP or NRSB Certified already it’s going to cost nearly twice that to get licensed…
