How many CE hours do Arkansas real estate agents need?

Seven hours every year, completed by December 31, to renew an active license for the next calendar year.

When do Arkansas licenses renew?

The renewal window runs July 15 to September 30. Licenses not renewed expire because renewal fees weren't paid.

What CE do I need to reactivate an inactive license?

Your CE hours must have been completed during the year you activate the license or the preceding calendar year.
