If you’re a licensed real estate professional in Montana, keeping your license active requires completing continuing education (CE) on a consistent schedule. CE isn’t just a requirement—it’s an opportunity to stay current with industry changes, sharpen your skills, and provide better service to your clients.
At License EDU, we make the CE process simple and practical with our fully online, state-approved Montana Real Estate Continuing Education courses. Here’s what you need to know about Montana’s CE requirements as a real estate agent or broker.
Montana Real Estate License Renewal & Deadline
In Montana, real estate licenses must be renewed every two years. Your renewal deadline falls on June 30 of even-numbered years. All required CE must be completed before that date and reported through the Montana Board of Realty Regulation online system.
Completing your CE well ahead of the deadline ensures you avoid late fees or an inactive license, and keeps you practicing without interruption.
How Many CE Hours Are Required
Montana requires licensed real estate professionals to complete 12 hours of Montana real estate continuing education during each renewal cycle. At License EDU, our Montana CE course package includes:
- 3 hours of Montana Property Management
- 3 hours of Montana Real Estate Financing
- 3 hours of Montana Property Inspections
- 3 hours of Montana NAR Ethics
Reporting Your Completed CE Hours
Upon completion, License EDU will report your courses for you to the Missouri Real Estate Commission. With this added benefit of automatic reporting, you can focus on your business while knowing your renewal requirements are being handled properly.
What Happens if You Don’t Complete CE
If you don’t complete your required 12 CE hours before your renewal deadline, your license may be placed on inactive status. Once inactive, you cannot legally practice real estate until your CE is complete and your license is reinstated. In some cases, additional fees may apply to reactivate your license.
That’s why it’s important to stay ahead of your CE requirements and plan your education early.
