12 hours every year.
Montana’s license year runs November 1 through October 31, and hours don’t carry over to the next year. Montana gives credit for courses approved by another state’s real estate commission, so our state-approved courses count toward your 12 hours.
Salespersons
Complete 12 hours each license year (November 1 to October 31).
Brokers
Same requirement: 12 hours each year. Brokers with a supervising broker endorsement include 4 hours of supervising broker education.
Plan ahead
Complete your CE before October 31, when Montana licenses expire.
Late fee
A license not renewed by October 31 expires and can’t be used until it is renewed with late fees. Keep each completion certificate in case of an audit.
