1 year

2 years
3 years
Florida's license renewal cycle is not three years. Some states use three-year cycles, but Florida specifically follows a biennial (two-year) renewal schedule established by FREC.
4 years
Florida does not have a four-year renewal cycle. This longer period is used in some other states or professions, but real estate licenses in Florida require renewal every two years to maintain active status.
Why is this correct?
Florida real estate licenses must be renewed every 2 years, with expiration dates falling on March 31 or September 30 of even-numbered years. This biennial renewal cycle is established by the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) to ensure licensees maintain current knowledge and competence through continuing education requirements.
