What Lenders Need

What a VA Termite Letter Is in Georgia

Georgia is a high-termite-risk state, and VA loans here require a wood-destroying insect inspection. Other states often use the national NPMA-33 form, but Georgia uses its own form: the Official Georgia Wood Infestation Inspection Report, usually called the WIIR. It must be completed by a licensed Georgia pest control company.

The report records whether there's evidence of active or past termite activity, other wood-destroying organisms, damage, and conditions that invite termites, like wood touching soil or excess moisture. According to the Georgia Department of Agriculture's fact sheet, the report comes with a 90-day guarantee.

A termite inspection for a home sale commonly costs about $100 to $200, depending on the size of the home and access to the crawl space or attic. Who pays is part of the purchase negotiation between buyer and seller.

How long is a Georgia WIIR good for?
