Continuing-education requirements for Real Estates in Utah

Active sales agents must complete 18 hours of certified real estate CE per two-year cycle, with a minimum of 9 hours in CORE topics; within the core hours, 3 hours must be a Division-approved mandatory course (Residential, Commercial, or Property Management). The remaining hours may be core or elective. First (new-agent) renewal differs: it requires the 12-hour New Agent Course plus the 3-hour Division-approved mandatory course plus 3 additional core/elective hours (still 18 total). The official pages do not name ethics or fair housing as separately mandated topics; subject matter is defined by the Division-approved mandatory course. Note: the on-time renewal page states a 6-hour core minimum for subsequent renewals while the CE-requirements page states a 9-hour core minimum — the CE page (9 core) is treated as authoritative here.

Good to know: Governing body is the Utah Division of Real Estate under the Department of Commerce; the site recently migrated from realestate.utah.gov (now 301-redirects to commerce.utah.gov/realestate). All licensees must renew online via a UtahID account. The $60 figure is the base on-time sales agent renewal fee from the official fee schedule (effective until Dec 31, 2025); actual checkout may include additional fingerprint/RAP Back fees for some renewals (~$102 total per fee-schedule snippets). Late renewal within the first 30 days adds a $50 late fee; expired 31 days to 12 months adds a $50 late fee plus $50 reinstatement; an active license expired beyond 30 days converts to expired-inactive (requires re-activation with a $15 activation fee), and reinstating an expired active license requires the full 18 CE hours plus a $100 reinstatement fee. The fee-schedule PDF was not machine-readable; the $60 and $50 amounts come from the Division's official pages/fee-schedule search snippets rather than a directly parsed table.
