Ohio CPA License Renewal Deadline 2026

Ohio CPA license renewal

CPA permit

CPA permits expire December 31, with a January 31 grace period, but only about one third of Ohio CPAs are due in any given year due to a rotating 3-group cohort system. Which group a CPA is in determines which December 31 applies to them.

A January 31 grace period follows each December 31 deadline before a permit is considered expired.
