License Requirements
DBPR Emergency Order - Real Estate License Renewal Extension - The
Department of Business and Professional Regulations (DBPR) has issued an
Emergency Order extending the deadline for REALTORS® to renew their
real estate license by 30 days. This gives REALTORS® the ability to
take some extra time before filing their renewal with the state. Please note
that this is an extension, NOT a waiver. The DBPR Emergency Order can be viewed
