§ 45:15-15.
The biennial fee for each real estate broker's license shall be $200, the biennial
fee for each real estate broker-salesperson's license shall be $200 and the biennial
fee for each real estate salesperson's license shall be $100. The biennial fee for a branch office license shall be $100. Each license granted under R.S.45:15-1 et seq. shall entitle the licensee to perform all of the acts contemplated herein during
the period for which the license is issued, as prescribed by R.S.45:15-1 et seq. If a licensee fails to apply for a renewal of his license prior to the date of expiration
of such license, the commission may refuse to issue a renewal license except upon
the payment of a late renewal fee in the amount of $20 for a salesperson or broker-salesperson and $40 for a broker; provided, however, the commission
may, in its discretion, refuse to renew any license upon sufficient cause being shown. The commission shall refuse to renew the license of any licensee convicted of any
offense enumerated in section 6 of P.L.1953, c. 229 ( C.45:15-19.1 ) during the term of the last license issued by the commission unless the conviction
was previously the subject of a revocation proceeding. Renewed licenses may be granted for each ensuing two years upon request of licensees
and the payment of the full fee therefor as herein required. Upon application and payment of the fees provided herein, initial licenses and licenses
reinstated pursuant to R.S.45:15-9 may be issued, but the commission may, in its discretion, refuse to grant or reinstate
any license upon sufficient cause being shown. The license fees for initial or reinstated licenses shall be determined based upon
the biennial fees established herein, with a full biennial fee payable for the license
term in which application is received. The revocation or suspension of a broker's license shall automatically suspend every
real estate broker-salesperson's and salesperson's license granted to employees or contractors of the broker whose license has been revoked or suspended, pending a change of employer or contracting broker and the issuance of a new license. The new license shall be issued without additional charge, if the same is granted
during the license term in which the original license was granted. Any renewal fee in this section shall be billed by the commission at or before the
time of the submission of a renewal application by a licensee. A real estate broker who maintains a main office or branch office licensed by the
commission which is located in another state shall maintain a valid real estate broker's
license in good standing in the state where the office is located and shall maintain
a real estate license in that other state for each office licensed by the commission. Upon request, the real estate broker shall provide a certification of his license
status in the other state to the commission. Any license issued by the commission to a real estate broker for a main or branch
office located outside this State shall be automatically suspended upon the revocation,
suspension or refusal to renew the real estate broker's license issued by the state
where the office is located. The licenses issued by the commission to every broker-salesperson and salesperson employed or contracted by the broker shall be automatically suspended pending a change of employer or contracting broker and the issuance of a new license. The new license shall be issued without additional charge if granted during the
license term in which the original license was granted.
