Florida Mold License Renewal Requirements
By Tyler Silva · Last verified: July 29, 2026 · Sources: Florida DBPR, Florida Statutes Ch. 468 Part XVI
Every requirement to renew a Florida mold assessor (MRSA) or mold remediator (MRSR) license, in one place. For the full narrative walkthrough — including what happens if you miss the deadline — see the 2026 renewal guide.
Deadline
Florida mold licenses expire at midnight EST on July 31 of every even year — the current cycle’s deadline is July 31, 2026. The cycle is biennial; there is no 2027 renewal. (Source: DBPR Mold-Related Services.)
After the deadline, see which Florida mold licenses renewed vs. lapsed in the dated before-and-after comparison.
Already missed it? A license not renewed by the deadline is delinquent, not void — see what to do if your mold license lapsed for the fee, the CE requirement, and how long you have to fix it.
Continuing education: 14 hours
Renewal requires 14 hours of DBPR-approved mold-related continuing education (F.S. 468.8416; FAC Rule 61-31.501), for both active and inactive renewal. Hours must be electronically reported to DBPR before you renew.
Gold Coast Schools is one DBPR-approved provider offering the 14-hour Mold-Related Services CE course. (This is one approved provider among others — confirm any course you’re considering is DBPR-approved for mold-related services specifically, not a general contractor CE course.)
Liability insurance: $1,000,000
Both license types require at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage under F.S. 468.8421:
- Assessors — general liability and errors & omissions coverage, covering both preliminary and post-remediation assessment.
- Remediators — general liability coverage that specifically includes mold-related claims; a standard policy with a mold exclusion does not satisfy this.
Most standard commercial general liability policies carry a fungi or bacteria exclusion, which does not satisfy the mold-specific requirement above. Satisfying it generally requires a policy endorsed to include mold claims, or a separate contractors pollution liability policy. Confirm with your agent that a quote actually covers mold before relying on it for renewal.
