WA Adult Family Home Building Inspection Program

WA DSHS Home and Community Living Administration (Residential Care Services)

DSHS and the Washington Association of Building Officials (WABO) jointly maintain the Adult Family Home Building Inspection Checklist used by local building officials to inspect AFHs for licensure and recertification. The page directs operators and consumers to the revised checklist (effective March 2024, per WAC 51-51-0330 last amended March 16, 2024) and to a 'Find Your Local Building Official' lookup.
