Renew Your License Today!
Many licenses expire on December 31. Therefore, the Division of Real Estate is taking one last opportunity to remind all licensees about the need to renew. Licensees with an expired license MAY NOT conduct ANY business that requires licensure. If you have not already, please visit the Division of Real Estate's website now to renew your license.
If your license is on an inactive status, you must still renew your license if you wish to maintain the inactive status and avoid any applicable reinstatement fees.

2025 Colorado Annual Commission Update
Available January 1, 2025
The 2025 Annual Commission Update (the “ACU”) course is now available for real estate brokers. This 4-hour mandatory course is required for all Brokers to maintain their license status.
When Can You Take It?
The ACU can be taken throughout the 2025 calendar year, but it is strongly recommended that all licensees take the course as early in the year as possible because it covers many important practice changes, updated laws, and already updated contracts and forms.
Where Can You Take The Course?
The course may be taken through authorized providers. Approved 2025 ACU providers, as well as a comprehensive list of other approved continuing education courses can be located on the Division’s website:
