Mold inspector licensing in Florida
Florida licenses both mold assessors and mold remediators through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation under Chapter 468, Part XVI. A mold assessor inspects and develops a remediation protocol; a mold remediator carries it out. Florida bars the same company from providing both the assessment and the remediation on the same project (subject to limited exceptions), preserving the independence of the assessment that drives the scope of work.
