In the state of Florida, real estate licenses are typically subject to renewal every two years. However, the specific month for renewal can vary depending on the licensee’s initial licensure date. Generally, licenses expire either on March 31 or September 30 of even-numbered years. Renewal notices are typically issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) approximately 90 days before the expiration date. It is crucial for license holders to remain vigilant about their renewal deadlines and ensure compliance with any continuing education requirements to maintain their license in good standing.
As part of the renewal process, licensees are obligated to complete either the 45-Hour Post-Licensing course or the 14-hour Continuing Education course. These educational programs are specifically designed to keep real estate professionals abreast of pertinent laws, regulations, and industry best practices. Given the importance of staying current in a dynamic field like real estate, it is imperative for licensees to consult with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) or their respective licensing authority for precise renewal dates and requirements tailored to their unique circumstances.
