Ohio has introduced significant updates to real estate license laws through House Bills 238 and 315. Key changes include the removal of the two-year post-secondary education requirement for broker applicants, though broker courses remain mandatory. Prelicensing education for salespersons has been reduced from 120 to 100 hours, effective April 9, 2025, with specified hours in practice, law, appraisal, and finance.
Additionally, brokers and salespersons can now meet education requirements through certificate programs, not just degree programs, expanding access to more institutions. Distance education standards have been clarified, requiring certification from recognized authorities to ensure quality and consistency.
House Bill 315 mandates the use of a Fair Housing Disclosure Form beginning April 9, 2026. While not obligated to create the form, the Division is drafting a suggested version to assist agents.
These updates aim to modernize the licensing process, widen educational access, and maintain Ohio’s high standards in real estate practice. For details, visit the Division’s website at com.ohio.gov/real.
