Commercial Cleaning & FM licensing in Florida.
Florida does not license commercial cleaning, but it does license mould work, and that licence reaches the water-damage cleanup cleaning crews are often asked to do. Florida Statutes 468.8411(5) defines mold remediation as removal, cleaning, sanitizing, demolition or other treatment of mould or mould-contaminated matter in areas greater than 10 square feet that was not purposely grown there, and 468.8411(3) sets the same threshold for mold assessment. The Department licenses individuals rather than companies, so a firm offering both needs a licensed individual for each role, and 468.8419 bars a remediator from assessing, or an assessor from remediating, a structure its company handled in the other capacity within the preceding 12 months - a criminal offence, not merely a licence matter. Ordinary indoor mould is not a 'pest' under chapter 482, so applying chemicals during remediation does not by itself trigger a pest control business licence. The same state rules apply in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, North Port-Sarasota, Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Lakeland, Palm Bay-Melbourne, Port St. Lucie and Pensacola, so candidates licensed there can work in Deltona-Daytona without re-qualifying.
Licensing authority: Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Confirm current rules with the agency.
