Michael B Collins

What this record tells you

Michael B Collins holds Florida licence MRSA73, 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 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 16 years of continuous licensure.

Michael B Collins is one of 98 active mold inspection licences registered to an address in Tampa, 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.
