ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Fifty-Fifth Legislature, Second Regular Session
REVISED
FACT SHEET FOR H.B. 2694
department of real estate; fees
Purpose
Removes the minimum fee amounts prescribed for real estate licensure.
Background
The Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE) is established to protect the public interest
through the licensure and regulation of real estate, cemetery and membership camping brokers and
salespersons in Arizona (A.R.S. § 32-2102). ADRE oversees the business of licensees, land
developers and real estate education institutions and monitors the sale of subdivisions,
unsubdivided lands, timeshares, condominiums, membership campgrounds and cemeteries. ADRE
participates in investigations and administrative hearings and administers the Homeowners
Association Dispute Process (A.R.S. § 32-2199).
Statute determines a range for fees associated with each real estate license, examination
and renewal. The following are the statutorily prescribed minimum fees: 1) $15 for a salesperson's
examination application, a salesperson's examination, a temporary broker's license, a temporary
cemetery salesperson's license and a membership camping salesperson certificate of convenience;
2) $35 for a broker's examination application, a broker's examination and a salesperson's license;
3) $60 for a salesperson's renewal, a branch office broker's license and a branch office broker's
renewal; 4) $75 for a broker's license; and 5) $100 for a broker's renewal. The State Real Estate
Commissioner is responsible for determining fee amounts relating to schools and other educational
institutions. A corporation, partnership or limited liability company is exempt from the fee for the
issuance of a broker's license (A.R.S. § 32-2132).
If the removal of minimum fees for real estate licensure results in a change of revenues,
there may be a fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this legislation.
