Real estate license requirements by U.S. state (2026): pre-licence hours, exam, state fees, renewal and continuing education

The entry-level real estate licence in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, one row per jurisdiction: licence name, minimum age, pre-licence education hours, exam length and pass mark, the state's own fees before course tuition, licence term, continuing-education hours per term and renewal fee. Pre-licence education runs from 40 hours in Alaska to 180 hours in Texas; among states whose fees are all published, state fees before tuition run from $80 in New York to $729 in Connecticut. Every value was read from the state's licensing board, its exam vendor's candidate bulletin or its statute, and each row carries the board, its URL and the latest date a source was read. Where a board publishes no figure the cell is blank, or says so in the note columns, rather than borrowing one from a school. Compiled for Agent Licenses; the same table, with a source on every cell, is published as real estate license requirements by state, and each row links its state guide.
