Reasons for Denial of an Arizona Real Estate License

Those who are taking pre-licensure real estate classes are anticipating a new career in real estate.  Those who are taking continuing professional education classes are doing so in order to fulfill the requirements for renewing their license.

Criminal convictions, civil judgments, or disciplinary action involving any other professional licenses in Arizona or any other state may result in license denial.

The following state laws, also known as Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.), relate to original and renewal license applications with disclosure(s).

  • A.R.S. § 32-2124(M) states that the Department shall not issue a license to a person who has been convicted of a felony offense and who is currently incarcerated for the conviction, paroled, or under community supervision and under the supervision of a parole or community supervision officer or who is on probation as a result of the conviction. (emphasis added)
  • A.R.S. § 32-2130(I) states that the Department shall not renew a license of a person who has been convicted of a felony offense and who is currently incarcerated for the conviction, paroled, or under community supervision and under the supervision of a parole or community supervision officer or who is on probation as a result of the conviction. (emphasis added)
  • A.R.S. § 32-2166 prohibits a licensee from conducting activities that require a license while the licensee is incarcerated. (emphasis added)
  • A.R.S. § 32-2153(B) sets out other substantiated misrepresentations, fraudulent conduct, and certain other transgressions, including the filing of a false application, which also may be cause for the Department to deny your application.

Commissioner's Rule R4-28-301.F requires each salesperson, broker, school owner, director, administrator and instructor shall, within 10 days of any occurrence, notify the Commissioner in writing of any change in information provided under subsection (A)(1)(a) through (d) and provide documentation listed in subsection (A)(2).
