Anchor year not confirmed
The renewal rule itself is double-sourced (Michigan LARA's current licensing page plus a separately-hosted official LARA licensing-guide PDF both confirm: biennial, expires July 31), but neither document states which year of the 2-year cycle applies to a given license holder, so we cannot safely publish one 'next July 31' date for every visitor. Confirm your exact renewal date with the Michigan Board of Accountancy (LARA) or on your license.

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

$100. $100 application-processing fee (MCL 338.2211) applies to a relicensure application under R 338.5230 (that rule requires 'the required fee' without stating an amount itself). A $20 late-renewal fee (MCL 338.2206) is also owed on relicensure -- MCL 339.411(3)(b) requires the application processing fee, the late renewal fee, AND the upcoming period's license fee, so the total exceeds the $100 processing fee alone.
