INACTIVE FLORIDA REAL ESTATE LICENSE?

An inactive license isn't gone. If you act inside the window, you can get it active again and start earning referral income with Tidal Realty Group for $79 a year.

How to reactivate your Florida real estate license

When a Florida license isn't renewed by its March 31 or September 30 deadline, it becomes involuntarily inactive. What it takes to bring it back depends on how long it has been inactive.

Up to 12 monthsComplete the 14-hour continuing education course and pay the renewal and late fees.
12 to 24 monthsComplete the 28-hour reactivation course and pay the renewal and late fees.
After 24 monthsThe license is null and void. You'd have to retake the pre-license course and the state exam.

Missed your first renewal? Different rules apply. If post-licensing education wasn't completed before your first renewal, the license becomes null and void right away, with no inactive window.

Four steps back to active

  1. Check your status. Look up your license at MyFloridaLicense.com to see its status and expiration date.

  2. Finish your education. Take the 14-hour or 28-hour course, whichever applies. Tidal agents save up to 40% through our education partner.

  3. Pay the DBPR fees. Pay your renewal and late fees with the DBPR so your license is current again.

  4. Join Tidal Realty Group. Sign up online in about 5 minutes. Once you're current, we activate your license under our brokerage with the DBPR.

Already voluntarily inactive with a current license? You can skip to step 4. You just need a broker.
