Florida Regulatory Requirement
Florida DBPR Mold Licensing: What Loxahatchee Homeowners Must Know
Before you hire any mold contractor in Palm Beach County, Florida law requires specific licenses that most homeowners don't know to ask for. Not knowing can cost you your insurance claim.
What Florida Law Requires
Chapter 468, Part XVI of the Florida Statutes, administered by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), mandates separate licensing for every mold-related service in Florida. This law applies to every property in Loxahatchee, The Acreage, and all of Palm Beach County.
Mold Assessor License (MRSA)
Licensed to inspect, test, and write Mold Assessment Reports. The assessor identifies the type, extent, and source of mold contamination. They also conduct post-remediation clearance testing to verify the work was done correctly. An assessor cannot perform remediation on any property they assessed.
Mold Remediator License (MRSR)
Licensed to perform the physical work of mold containment, removal, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal. The remediator executes the remediation plan written by the assessor. A remediator cannot perform assessments on properties they remediate — this conflict-of-interest prohibition is explicit in Florida law.
Conflict-of-Interest Prohibition
Florida law explicitly prohibits the same company or individual from both assessing and remediating mold on the same property. This protection ensures the scope of work is determined by an independent assessor who has no financial interest in the size of the remediation job. Post-remediation clearance must come from a separately licensed assessor as well.
How to Verify Before Hiring

- 3 Search by the contractor's full legal name or license number
- 4 Confirm the license status shows "Current, Active" — not expired, suspended, or under investigation
- 5 Ask for the license number in writing before any work begins
Questions to Ask Every Contractor
- What is your DBPR mold remediator (MRSR) license number?
- Who is the independent licensed assessor performing the Mold Assessment Report?
- Will the same assessor also perform post-remediation clearance testing?
- Can you provide documentation of your liability and workers' comp insurance?
Critical Warning for Loxahatchee Homeowners
Hiring an unlicensed mold contractor can void your homeowners insurance claim in Florida. Insurance carriers are increasingly requiring proof of DBPR licensure as a condition of mold claim payment. If you pay an unlicensed contractor first, your insurer may deny the entire claim — including the cost of work you already paid for. Verify before you sign anything.
