James Andrew Tanner

What this record tells you

James Andrew Tanner holds Florida licence MRSA2436, 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 2016, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. That is 10 years of continuous licensure.

This is the only active mold inspection licence registered to an address in Destin in the current DBPR extract — worth widening your search to the surrounding Destin & Fort Walton Beach area when collecting comparison quotes. James Andrew Tanner additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence 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.
