For all second and subsequent license renewals on or after January 1, 2026, OREA requires you complete 2 hours of LARRC and a new 2-hour State and Federal Fair Housing course.

Inactive licenses do not require continuing education for renewal. There are no exemptions from continuing education for active licenses.

Continuing education must be completed before submitting your license renewal, which is due every two years on the license expiration date.
