Mold inspector licensing in Maryland
Maryland requires a license to perform mold remediation services for compensation, administered by the Maryland Home Improvement Commission under Business Regulation Article §8-301 et seq. The requirement targets remediation contractors; Maryland does not maintain a separate mold-assessor license, so an inspector who only assesses (and does not remediate) is not covered by the MHIC mold-remediation license. The Maryland Department of the Environment publishes general mold guidance for the public.
