Insurance Requirements
Licensed mold assessment companies and mold remediation companies are required to maintain commercial general liability insurance in the amount of not less than $1 million per occurrence. This insurance coverage must be maintained for the duration of the license, and proof of insurance should be submitted to the department along with your application.
A non-governmental entity, such as a business or an individual, may be "self-insured" if the business or individual submits to the department a signed affidavit stating that the business or individual has a net worth of at least $1 million. A current financial statement indicating a net worth of at least $1 million must accompany the affidavit. A new affidavit and current financial statement must be submitted with each renewal application.
Governmental entities that are self-insured are not required to purchase this insurance.
Responsible Person
A mold assessment company must have at least one licensed mold assessment consultant to act as the company’s responsible person.
A mold remediation company must have at least one licensed mold remediation contractor to act as the company’s responsible person.
Renewal of Expired Licenses

A person whose license has been expired for 90 days or less may renew the license by paying to the department a renewal fee that is equal to 1-1/2 times the normally required renewal fee.
A person whose license has been expired for more than 90 days but less than 18 months may renew the license by paying to the department a renewal fee that is equal to two times the normally required renewal fee.
On approval by the executive director (see Request to Executive Director for Expired License Renewal Form PDF), a person whose license has been expired for at least 18 months but less than three years may renew the license by paying to the department a renewal fee equal to two times the normally required renewal fee.
