Home Inspectors and Mold Inspectors
Two different professions that will require separate licenses and requirements one year from now. July 1, 2010
Consumers in Florida need to be protected from incompetent mold inspectors. Florida has passed a new law that will require 4 years experience and $1million in E&O insurance for a mold inspector beginning July 2010. The same law will require Home Inspectors to have a license, but with no experience requirements.
