Next renewal date
June 30, 2027Annual renewal -- every CPA certificate and LPA license (Iowa Code 542.6/542.8/542.19) expires June 30 each year, same date for every licensee. Iowa Admin. Code 193A-5.3(1): 'Licenses expire on June 30 of each year.' A renewal notice typically goes out in the May preceding expiration; a 30-day grace period follows a missed deadline before the license lapses (193A-5.4).

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