Florida Real Estate CE That Reports Your Hours to the DBPR — For You
Do you report your own real estate CE hours in Florida? No. Your FREC-approved provider reports completed CE hours to the DBPR; you submit nothing yourself. Comet CE files your completed hours with the Florida DBPR on your behalf and issues your certificate the moment you finish. You simply complete your renewal online with the DBPR and pay the fee by your renewal date — we handle the reporting.

Who reports — the licensee or the provider?
The provider does. In Florida, your approved continuing-education provider is responsible for reporting your completed hours to the DBPR — the licensee does not file them. Comet CE files on your behalf, so you submit nothing to the state.
You vs. Comet CE
| What you do | What Comet CE does |
|---|---|
| Choose and complete your courses | Delivers your FREC-approved courses |
| Renew your license and pay the renewal fee to the DBPR by your renewal date | Files your completed CE hours with the DBPR on your behalf |
| Keep your certificate of completion | Issues your certificate the moment you finish |
Reporting your CE hours is handled for you — renewing the license itself is not. You still submit your renewal and pay the fee to the DBPR by your renewal date. Comet CE reports your education; you complete the renewal.

Does this cover every license class?
Florida’s 14-hour CE requirement is identical for sales associates, broker associates, and brokers (Fla. Stat. § 475.182; FAC 61J2-3.009), and the $24.90 14-hour bundle covers all of it — with the completed hours filed to the DBPR on your behalf for every one of those classes.
The one exception is a licensee’s first renewal, which requires post-licensing education instead of CE. If you are still in your first license cycle, this bundle is not what you need — see Florida post-licensing and your first renewal.
