TDLR's mold FAQ says people without a mold license can, in most instances, clean up visible growth under 25 contiguous square feet. Once mold covers 25 contiguous square feet or more, a planned remediation has to be reported to TDLR online, with a $25 fee. Count the trades your remodel needs before you compare quotes, since the city's permit fee follows that count.
