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.
All newly licensed sales associate and broker licensees must take required post-licensure education before the end of the first license renewal period. If you fail to take the post-licensure education within the initial licensure renewal period, as mandated by Florida statute, your license will become null and void. This means you would have to begin the entire licensing process all over again.
For licensees renewing their license after the initial post licensure requirements, if you fail to take your required continuing education in subsequent renewal periods, your license will automatically be placed Involuntarily Inactive by the State. This means you will be unable to practice real estate until you complete your continuing education requirements.
According to the State, you have up to four years to maintain an Involuntarily Inactive status before your license becomes null and void, after which time you would have to being the entire licensing process all over again.
