Licensed Mold Assessors in Florida

A mold assessor inspects the property, takes samples where needed and evaluates the data to work out where mold is growing, how far it has spread and where the moisture is coming from. The listings below hold an active Florida mold assessor (MRSA) license from DBPR.

Why choose this

  • An assessment looks for where mold is growing and where the moisture is coming from, before anyone starts removing material.
  • A written assessment report and remediation protocol gives remediators a defined scope to quote against, so quotes are easier to compare.
  • An independent assessor can check the space after remediation (post-remediation verification or clearance) before walls are closed up.

Things to consider

  • Florida generally bars the assessor (or their company) from remediating a structure they assessed within the last 12 months, so expect to hire a separate remediator.
  • Sampling is not always needed. EPA says that in most cases, if mold is visible, sampling is unnecessary. Ask what testing will add and why.
  • An assessment adds a step and a fee before remediation starts. Get 2–3 written quotes.

Questions to ask

  • Their DBPR license number and type (MRSA or MRSR), so you can confirm it is current and active on myfloridalicense.com.
  • Proof of the insurance Florida requires for their license type, with your property named on the certificate if possible.
  • A written contract that describes the work, the areas covered and what the price includes.
  • What the assessment covers: visual inspection, moisture readings, any sampling, and whether you get a written report and remediation protocol.
  • Whether they will do the post-remediation assessment (clearance), and what it checks.
  • Whether they have any financial ties to, or referral arrangements with, remediation companies. Florida law bars referral payments between assessors and remediators.

Frequently asked questions

What does a Florida mold assessor do?

Section 468.8411, Florida Statutes, defines a mold assessment as a process that includes physical sampling and detailed evaluation of data from a building history and inspection to form an initial hypothesis about the origin, identity, location and extent of mold growth of greater than 10 square feet. A mold assessor is anyone who performs or directly supervises that work. See our assessor vs. remediator guide.

Can the assessor also do the remediation?

Generally no. Under section 468.8419(1)(d), Florida Statutes, a person may not perform or offer to perform mold remediation on a structure where the mold assessor or the assessor's company provided a mold assessment within the last 12 months. The statute exempts certified Division I contractors (general, building and residential contractors), subject to DBPR rules on disclosure.

Do I need mold testing?

Not always. EPA says that in most cases, if visible mold growth is present, sampling is unnecessary, and CDC does not recommend routine mold testing. An assessor can still help find hidden moisture and define what needs to be removed. Ask what any sampling is meant to answer.
