PLEASE NOTE: We provide the following renewal information as a courtesy and it may change at any time. It is the individual licensee's responsibility to be sure that he or she meets the requirements for his or her own particular license renewal circumstance(s).

Michigan Licensee Renewal Requirements

  • Total Hours: 18
  • Mandatory/Core: 6
  • Elective: 12
  • Renewal Cycle: 3 years

The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs ("LARA") is the State’s real estate licensing authority.

Each cycle renewal period is three years. Within the three-year period licensees must complete 18 hours of education, including 6 mandatory/legal hours and 12 elective hours. To meet this requirement licensees must take at least 2 hours of mandatory/legal and 4 hours of electives within each of the three cycle renewal years, between November 1 and October 31. Courses can NOT be repeated within a 3 year cycle.

Effective 2/13/2024 all real estate professionals must complete one hour of Fair Housing in each year of the license cycle. For those renewing within the first year of the effective date of the law, if selected for a Continuing Education Audit, the Department will take into consideration the shortened window for you to comply with the new law. For those renewing more than 1 year after the effective date of the law (after February 13, 2025), if selected for a Continuing Education Audit, the Department will use its discretion but would expect that at least one hour of this new training is completed for each license cycle year since the law went into effect.

Receiving Credit for Completed Courses

Michigan is an audit state, meaning neither licensees nor education providers send notice of course completions to the Commission; rather, the state requires that licensees are able to provide proof of course completions in the event they are audited. CBT reports your course completions to the CE Marketplace.

NOTE: Each time you complete a course on the CBT website, you will receive a courtesy email from us that verifies your completion. You will receive a second email each time we submit notice of a course completion to the CE Marketplace.

After you've completed all your courses, navigate to the Michigan/LARA website to renew your license: https://www.lara.michigan.gov/icola/Entry
