Fees established pursuant to section
12-10-215
shall be charged by and paid to the commission or the agent for the commission for the following:
(a)
Each broker's examination;
(b)
Each broker's original application and license;
(c)
Each renewal of a broker's license;
(d)
Any change of name, address, or employing broker requiring a change in commission records;
(e)
A new application that shall be submitted when a licensed real estate broker wishes to become the broker acting for a partnership, a limited liability company, or a corporation.
(2)
The proper fee shall accompany each application for licensure. The fee shall not be refundable. Failure by the person taking an examination to file the appropriate broker's application within one year of the date the person passed the examination will automatically cancel the examination, and all rights to a passing score will be terminated.
(3)
Each real estate broker's license granted to an individual shall entitle the individual to perform all the acts contemplated by this part 2, without any further application on his or her part and without the payment of any fee other than the fees specified in this section.
(4)
(a)
(I)
The commission shall require that any person licensed under this part 2, whether on an active or inactive basis, renew the license on or before December 31 of every third year after issuance; except that an initial license issued under this part 2 on or after April 23, 2018, expires at 12 midnight on December 31 of the year in which it was issued.
(II)
Renewal is conditioned upon fulfillment of the continuing education requirements set forth in section
12-10-213
. For persons renewing or reinstating an active license, written certification verifying completion for the previous licensing period of the continuing education requirements set forth in section
12-10-213
must accompany and be submitted to the commission with the application for renewal or reinstatement. For persons who did not submit certification verifying compliance with section
12-10-213
at the time a license was renewed or reinstated on an inactive status, written certification verifying completion for the previous licensing period of the continuing education requirements set forth in that section must accompany and be submitted with any future application to reactivate the license. The commission may, by rule, establish procedures to facilitate such a renewal. In the absence of any reason or condition that might warrant the refusal of the granting of a license or the revocation thereof, the commission shall issue a new license upon receipt by the commission of the written request of the applicant and the appropriate fees required by this section. Applications for renewal will be accepted thirty days prior to January 1.
(III)
A person who fails to renew a license before January 1 of the year succeeding the year of the expiration of the license may reinstate the license as follows:
(A)
If proper application is made within thirty-one days after the date of expiration, by payment of the regular renewal fee;
(B)
If proper application is made more than thirty-one days but within one year after the date of expiration, by payment of the regular renewal fee and payment of a reinstatement fee equal to one-half the regular renewal fee;
(C)
If proper application is made more than one year but within three years after the date of expiration, by payment of the regular renewal fee and payment of a reinstatement fee equal to the regular renewal fee.
(IV)
The commission may, by rule, establish procedures to facilitate the transition of the reinstatement license periods described in subsections (4)(a)(III)(A) to (4)(a)(III)(C) of this section from an anniversary expiration date to a December 31 expiration date.
(b)
Any reinstated license shall be effective only as of the date of reinstatement. Any person who fails to apply for reinstatement within three years after the expiration of a license shall, without exception, be treated as a new applicant for licensure.
(c)
All reinstatement fees shall be transmitted to the state treasurer, who shall credit the fees to the division of real estate cash fund, as established by section
12-10-215
.
(5)
The suspension, expiration, or revocation of a real estate broker's license shall automatically inactivate every real estate broker's license where the holder of the license is shown in the commission records to be in the employ of the broker whose license has expired or has been suspended or revoked pending notification to the commission by the employed licensee of a change of employment.
