Florida Real Estate Sales Agent License Cost
Every fee the state charges, what training adds on top, and what the same licence costs in other states.
The fees, itemised
These are the state's own charges. Training is the big variable and is listed separately where the state sets a requirement.
| Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Application fee | $63 | |
| Renewal fee | $64 | |
| Total | $63 | before exam retakes |
The state fees are fixed. Training is the part that moves: community college, private trade school and employer-sponsored apprenticeship can differ by thousands of dollars for the same licence.
Renewal
Renewal costs $64 every 2 years. Over ten years that is about $320 in renewals alone.
Cost in other states
| State | State fees | Time | Median pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| California | $499 | 0.8 mo | $72,870 |
| Florida | $63 | 0.4 mo | $68,100 |
| Texas | $208 | 1 mo | $78,390 |
Cheapest route we found: Florida at $63. Highest median pay: Texas at $78,390 — the two are rarely the same state, which is the whole decision.
