Earlier is Better! The deadline for this renewal cycle is 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 31st or September 30th. Attention New Licensees Renew Online, By Phone or By Mail The Department of Business and Professional Regulation audits real estate licensees. In the event of such an audit, course completion certificate must be provided to Department personnel. For this reason, please advise students that their original grade report should be retained for a minimum of two years following the end of the renewal cycle in which they use the education. The Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) mandates full compliance regarding fulfillment of course requirements and will not allow extensions to students. Licenses must be renewed on time with no exceptions. To maintain your real estate license, all licensees must comply with post-licensing or continuing education requirements and pay necessary renewal fees. This also applies to those licensees with a suspended license. In support of the statutory requirements for your profession, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation has implemented a 100% Post and Continuing Education Monitoring database. All course providers are required to report your education completion to the department within 30-days of completion, or prior to the expiration date, whichever occurs first. If your required education is not complete and/or reported, you will NOT be able to renew your license. Department of Business and Professional Regulation - Division of Real Estate - Florida Real Estate Commission Amended May 2007: Section 455.2178(1), Florida Statutes, continuing education providers must electronically submit licensee course completion information to the department no later than 30 calendar days thereafter. However, the continuing education provider shall electronically report to the department completion of a licensee's course within 10 business days beginning on the 30th day before the renewal deadline or prior to the renewal date, whichever occurs sooner. Continuing Education students need to complete the course at least one week in advance of their license renewal date. Florida Real Estate University is required to report education completion prior to the renewal date (March 31 or September 30 of each year). Students who wait until the last week of the renewal deadline may encounter various problems (technical and other) which could prevent license renewal. Anyone purchasing a course or attempting the final examination during the last week of a renewal cycle does so at his or her own risk. Extensions are NOT granted by the DBPR due to technical problems with a course. We wanted to call your attention to some legislative information that could impact your Broker License Application. House Bill 0601 changes the eligibility requirements to become a broker from 12 to 24 months. This bill, which is expected to become law, has passed the House and Senate and is awaiting the Governor’s signature. It would become effective July 1, 2008. Persons who have 12 months experience as a sales associate and who want to become a broker should send in their application so that it is received prior to July 1. All broker applications received by the DBPR on July 1, 2008 or later will require 24 months experience. Broker pre-licensing education does not have to be completed prior to the July 1, 2008 effective date, but the application must be received by the DBPR by then. This bill DOES NOT CHANGE any of the broker education requirements. Below, We have included an excerpt from the bill for your review. You can read the entire bill at http://www.myflorida.com/dbpr/re/documents/FREC_FAQs_Final_Rev_0508.pdf http://www.flsenate.gov/data/session/2008/House/bills/billtext/pdf/h060106er.pdf
