Maintained by the MoldVerified Research Desk — every license claim is checked against the Florida DBPR registry. See how in our verification methodology and data sources.
In Florida, mold remediation on areas larger than 10 square feet requires an active MRSR license, and mold assessment requires an MRSA — set by the state's Mold-Related Services law (Ch. 468, Part XVI, Fla. Stat.; §468.8411 and §468.8419). To verify a contractor, search their license number or company name below and confirm it on the state's official registry.

What a Florida mold license means
Florida regulates mold work under its Mold-Related Services law (Chapter 468, Part XVI, Florida Statutes), and it uses two separate licenses for two separate jobs. MRSR is the mold remediation license — required to do the actual removal on any job larger than 10 square feet. MRSA is the separate assessor license for testing and inspection. The 10-square-foot threshold and both license definitions come from §468.8411, Fla. Stat. See the full credential and exam requirements behind each Florida mold license, how a professional actually earns one, or how those rules compare across other states.
State law also keeps the two roles independent on the same project — §468.8419 bars the same company from assessing and remediating one property within 12 months — so the company that finds the mold isn't the one that profits from removing it. If one firm offers to both test and remove on the same job, treat it as a flag and confirm each license here first. Compare the assessor and remediator roles to see which your job needs, or check what the law requires for your specific situation with the mold-law screener.
When Florida mold licenses renew
Florida mold licenses run on a two-year cycle and are due for renewal by July 31 of each even-numbered year — the next deadline is July 31, 2026.Renewing requires 14 hours of continuing education, and the state notifies licensees roughly 90 to 120 days ahead.
That matters for a quick check in the weeks around the deadline: a license can read as expired simply because it's mid-renewal, and a holder who misses the date moves to delinquent status until they renew and pay the late fee. If the expiration shown here is close, confirm the current status on the state registry and ask the contractor for proof of renewal before work starts. Because so many licenses come due at once, the makeup of the state's licensed pool shifts around that date — see the county-by-county breakdown of Florida's active mold licenses.
Frequently asked questions
How do I verify a Florida mold contractor's license?
Enter the contractor's license number (like MRSR1234) or company name in the lookup above. You'll see the license status, type, and expiration from Florida DBPR records, with a link to confirm it on the state's official MyFloridaLicense.com registry.
What's the difference between an MRSR and an MRSA license?
MRSR is Florida's mold remediation license, required to do the actual removal on jobs larger than 10 square feet. MRSA is the separate assessor license for testing and inspection. Florida law (§468.8411) defines both around that 10-square-foot threshold — two different licenses for two different roles.
Does a mold contractor need a license in Florida?
Yes. Under Florida's Mold-Related Services law (Ch. 468, Part XVI, Fla. Stat.), remediation of more than 10 square feet requires an MRSR license and mold assessment requires an MRSA license (§468.8411, §468.8419). A contractor without the matching license isn't authorized to do that work.
Can the same company test for mold and then remove it in Florida?
No, not on the same property within 12 months. Florida law (§468.8419) keeps the assessor and remediator roles independent, so the company that finds the mold isn't the one that profits from removing it. Be cautious if a single firm offers to both test and remove on the same job.
A contractor isn't in your results — does that mean they're unlicensed?
Not necessarily. The license may be held under a different legal name, the spelling may differ, or they may not be licensed for Florida mold work. Confirm directly on MyFloridaLicense.com before deciding.
When do Florida mold licenses expire?
Florida mold licenses renew on a two-year cycle, due by July 31 of each even-numbered year — the next deadline is July 31, 2026. Renewal requires 14 hours of continuing education. If you check a license in the months around that date, confirm the expiration shown still matches the state record before work begins.
What does it mean if a mold license is expired or delinquent in Florida?
An expired Florida mold license means the holder didn't renew by the July 31 deadline and isn't currently authorized for that work. The state lets a lapsed licensee return to current status by renewing and paying a delinquent fee, but until they do, treat the license as inactive and ask for proof it has been renewed.
Status, type, and expiration come from our copy of the Florida DBPR license file. The check date shows when we last refreshed that record. For the authoritative live record, use MyFloridaLicense.com. Read how we verify, or see what Florida law requires for your job with the mold-law screener.
