Florida License CE Renewal
By law, Florida architects have two important deadlines approaching.
December 31, 2022- Continuing Education credits must be completed
February 28, 2023- License must be renewed
Florida architects must renew their license by February 28, 2023. However, Florida law requires they complete at least 24 hours of continuing education credit, 22 HSW plus a two-hour Advanced Florida Building code credit, between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2022.
IT CAN BE CONFUSING! But continuing education units must be obtained by December 31, prior to the February 28 license renewal deadline.
Visit the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation website to renew your Florida architect license.

Reminder
As a reminder, on Nov. 21, 2012, Rule 61G1-24, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C), outlining the continuing education hours (CEH) requirements changed from 20 to 24 hours per biennium. (22 hours in health, safety and welfare approved courses and 2 hours in the Florida Building Code Advanced Course). For more information, see the DBPR Architecture Continuing Education Handbook, click here.
When an architect renews their license, he/she will attest to completing 24 continuing education hours from January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2022.
The Board of Architecture and Interior Design (BOAID) no longer accepts optional self-directed study courses delivered by non-AIA providers.
