Florida CPA license renewal
Individual CPA license renewal is a rolling 2-year 'reestablishment period' anchored to each CPA's own original certificate date, not a publicly stated odd/even calendar split. Fla. Admin. Code R. 61H1-33.003(1)(a) fixes the exact mechanism: the initial period runs to the third June 30 following the certificate date, and every period after that is a standard July 1 - June 30 two-year CPE cycle. The license itself renews December 31 of that same year (DBPR's renewal cycle runs October 1 - December 31 of the year the license expires) -- June 30 is the CPE reestablishment cutoff, not the renewal deadline. Real active licenses show both odd- and even-year expirations simultaneously (confirmed via DBPR's live license-verification tool) because of this personal anchor -- there is no single statewide date, but the exact date IS computable from your own certificate date.
