Clinton J Ford

What this record tells you

Clinton J Ford holds Florida licence MRSA16, a MRSA classification which authorises work as a licensed mold assessor. An "R" prefix means the licence is registered, which limits work to the local jurisdictions that accepted it rather than the whole state.

This licence was first issued in 2010, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 0% of the 22 active mold inspection licences based in the Gainesville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 16 years of continuous licensure.

This is the only active mold inspection licence registered to an address in Alachua in the current DBPR extract — worth widening your search to the surrounding Gainesville area when collecting comparison quotes. Clinton J Ford additionally holds 3 other active Florida licences in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 07/31/2028. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
