Individual License Fee Increase
As a result of the Board's projected revenue, expenditures, and fund balances, modest fee increases are necessary to maintain the same level of operations for Texas licensees. Effective September 1, 2022, the annual individual license fee will increase from $70 to $85 (includes $10 scholarship fee). All other fees will remain the same. The Board has not increased fees for licensees since September of 2019 and in 2021 the overall license renewal fee was reduced. The Board is self-sustaining. All direct and indirect costs must be paid from what it collects in license renewal fees, firm registrations, exam fees, sponsor registrations, and other collections.
The following table can be used as a general guide, but your individual fees may vary depending on your specific circumstances, the timing of your previous payments, and your current status with the Board. Please refer to Online Services for Individuals to check your specific status.
