Joseph Linwood Zappala

What this record tells you

Joseph Linwood Zappala holds Florida licence MRSR5791, a MRSR classification which authorises work as a licensed mold remediator. 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 2026, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 92% of the 164 active mold remediation licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2022. That is 0 years of continuous licensure.

Joseph Linwood Zappala is one of 2 active mold remediation licences registered to an address in Sun City Center, 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.
