The next license renewal is in 2025. The CE completion deadline to avoid an additional fee is April 30, 2025, and the deadline to renew a license is June 30, 2025. In addition to the license renewal fee, a $200 CE late fee will be imposed on licensees who are required to complete CE to renew their license and fail to do so by the CE completion deadline of April 30, 2025.

All licensees (except salespersons licensed with a real estate referral company or those in broker status for 40 or more years with an approved exemption) should check to ensure compliance with CE when the renewal system opens. CE credit hours completed on the eve of the renewal deadline will not be uploaded into the CE tracking system fast enough to allow for timely license renewal.

Continue to check the website frequently for details and updates. Verify that your contact information on file with the Real Estate Commission is current to receive renewal correspondence and updates by accessing your menu in the Online Licensing System and using the “Update your contact information” function.
