How often do I need to renew my NC real estate license?

All North Carolina real estate licenses must be renewed by June 30 each year, regardless of the date of issuance. If you do not renew your license by June 30, it will expire.

You will receive a courtesy reminder in May. If you do not get your original license till late May or June, you will receive your reminder with your new license and still must renew on June 30.

Licensees can renew their licenses online at the North Carolina Real Estate Commission website. The renewal fee is $45 and may be paid via VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express or PayPal annually from May 15 to June 30.
