When do Colorado broker licenses expire?

• A. On Jan 1
• B. Midnight on the broker’s licensing anniversary date
• C. December 31
• D. End of license month

Answer: (B)

Licenses expire on the broker’s licensing anniversary date, at midnight. The anniversary date is the date the license was issued (and is used for future renewals), so each new term ends on the same date in the next cycle. That precise cutoff—midnight on that anniversary date—ensures a clear boundary between active and expired status. Calendar dates like January 1 or December 31, or the end of a license month, don’t align with the renewal cycle and aren’t used to mark expiration. If renewal isn’t completed by that midnight moment, the license typically becomes inactive until proper renewal is processed.
