When Is Your DBPR License Renewal Payment Due?

Florida real estate licenses operate on a two-year renewal cycle. Your license expiration date depends on when you were originally licensed — typically March 31 or September 30 of the renewal year. The DBPR usually sends a renewal notice to the email on file, but it’s ultimately your responsibility to track your deadline and complete your renewal payment on time.

We recommend completing your DBPR license renewal payment at least two to three weeks before your deadline, giving the system time to process your payment and update your license status without any last-minute stress.

What Happens If You Miss Your Renewal Payment?

If you don’t complete your DBPR license renewal payment before the deadline, your license will become involuntarily inactive. During this period, you cannot legally practice real estate in Florida. If the license remains inactive too long, it can eventually expire, which would require you to go through the full licensing process again — including retaking the state exam.

Already Completed Your Continuing Education?

Before completing your DBPR license renewal payment, make sure your continuing education credits are up to date. Learn how to check your CE credits on the DBPR website.
