John Peter Papageorge

What this record tells you

John Peter Papageorge holds Florida licence MRSA1733, 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 2011, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 4% of the 203 active mold inspection licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 15 years of continuous licensure.

John Peter Papageorge is one of 14 active mold inspection licences registered to an address in Lutz, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
