Do you need a mold inspector license in Michigan?
Michigan does not license or register mold inspectors. Its cold humid-continental climate (IECC 5A in the south, 6A–7 northward) pairs wintertime condensation and ice damming with Great Lakes ambient humidity, so both cold-surface sweating and basement moisture are routine. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services publishes mold guidance but issues no mold credential. Michigan inspectors typically carry a voluntary IICRC or ACAC certification rather than a state license.
Is a license required?
Michigan does not license mold inspectors or assessors at the state level. Inspectors typically hold a voluntary certification (such as IICRC or ACAC) rather than a state license.

Common questions
Do you need a license to be a mold inspector in Michigan?
No. Michigan issues no state mold-inspector license, so there is no state exam or registration to complete. Inspectors instead show competence through voluntary certification such as IICRC or ACAC and by following recognized industry standards.
Who regulates mold inspection in Michigan?
No single board regulates mold inspection in Michigan. The state's environmental and health agencies publish general mold guidance instead: https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs.
