Delaware CPA License Renewal Deadline 2027

Delaware CPA license renewal

Individual CPA/PA permit and firm permit
Last verified 2026-09-21
Next renewal date
June 30, 2027Biennial. All Delaware Board of Accountancy permits -- individual CPA, individual PA, and firm permits -- expire June 30 of odd-numbered years. 24 Del. C. § 108(b) establishes this exact date for individual CPA/PA permits ('shall expire on June 30 of the odd-numbered year following issuance or renewal'); § 111(c) confirms firm permits renew biennially but does not itself state June 30 as the date. The firm/PA-firm date is instead confirmed against Delaware's own open-data license register (data.delaware.gov, dataset pjnv-eaih): every active permit in every category -- 1,973 CPA, 230 CPA firm, 17 PA, 9 PA firm -- lands on 2027-06-30 at 100%, population-scale evidence rather than a codified date for that half of the claim.

Always confirm with the official state board before relying on this date. License requirements and deadlines can change.

Renewal fee: not independently confirmable -- Delaware doesn't publish a flat renewal fee, by design. State law (29 Del. C. 8735(c)) has the Division of Professional Regulation set license fees to cover its own costs rather than fixing a dollar figure in the code, and DPR's own fee page confirms it: you're notified of the amount directly when you renew. Since no schedule exists to publish, your renewal notice from DPR is the source for the current figure. read the rule →

CPE required: 80 hours every 2 years (4 ethics hours). Full CPE requirements →

Frequently asked questions

How does Delaware's CPA license renewal cycle work?

Biennial. All Delaware Board of Accountancy permits -- individual CPA, individual PA, and firm permits -- expire June 30 of odd-numbered years. 24 Del. C. § 108(b) establishes this exact date for individual CPA/PA permits ('shall expire on June 30 of the odd-numbered year following issuance or renewal'); § 111(c) confirms firm permits renew biennially but does not itself state June 30 as the date. The firm/PA-firm date is instead confirmed against Delaware's own open-data license register (data.delaware.gov, dataset pjnv-eaih): every active permit in every category -- 1,973 CPA, 230 CPA firm, 17 PA, 9 PA firm -- lands on 2027-06-30 at 100%, population-scale evidence rather than a codified date for that half of the claim.

How much does it cost to renew a CPA license in Delaware?

Not independently confirmable from an official source -- Delaware doesn't publish a flat renewal fee, by design. State law (29 Del. C. 8735(c)) has the Division of Professional Regulation set license fees to cover its own costs rather than fixing a dollar figure in the code, and DPR's own fee page confirms it: you're notified of the amount directly when you renew. Since no schedule exists to publish, your renewal notice from DPR is the source for the current figure.

Does Delaware require CPE hours to renew a CPA license?

Yes -- Delaware requires 80 hours of CPE every 2 years. That includes 4 ethics hours. See the full Delaware CPE requirements page for the exact citation.

What does it cost to reinstate a lapsed Delaware CPA license?

No fixed dollar figure is published. 24 Del. C. §124 requires the regular renewal fee plus an additional late/reinstatement processing fee (the Board's own fee page says the late fee equals 50% of the renewal fee) -- but the renewal fee itself isn't published as a fixed number ('you are notified of the amount at the time of renewal'), so no flat total can be honestly stated.

Does a CPA firm need to register separately in Delaware?

Yes -- Delaware has its own firm-level registration or permit requirement, separate from an individual CPA's license renewal. See the full Delaware firm renewal page for the exact cycle and citation.
