Arizona Real Estate License Renewal and Continuing Education Requirements
Starting January 1, 2025, all Arizona real estate professionals — brokers and sales licensees — must complete new one-hour courses on Arizona water, deed fraud, and Firewise topics as part of their continuing education (CE).
In Arizona, your real estate license must be renewed every two years through the Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE).
