It depends on the particular county, as various providers have different "depth" (years of history) for each county, you'll note that transfer date for example becomes almost worthless at some point (when you exceed that providers depth in that county).

The inspection is pretty in depth, takes a couple of days, and costs about $350 from my regular plumber.
