Kentucky

The Kentucky Real Estate Commission sits at 500 Mero Street 2NE09, Frankfort, KY 40601. Phone (502) 564-7760. Email PPC.KREC@ky.gov. Statute: KRS Chapter 324 and 201 KAR Chapter 11. PSI delivers the exam under Candidate Information Bulletin 2312 (test-takers.psiexams.com/kyre; (855) 746-8176; Updated 10/1/2023; fetched 2026-09-02). The live Requirements page fetched 2026-09-02 is the hour bible: 96 classroom hours or 6 academic credits for the sales associate; 336 classroom hours or 21 academic credits with 48 / 3 in Brokerage Management for the broker, plus 24 months averaging 20 hours per week. A Tennessee 60 and an Indiana 90 are neighbor comparisons, not that 96.

PSI seats 80 national items in 150 minutes and 50 Kentucky items in 90 minutes at $100 per registration, 75% on each portion. Both portions within four months of the first pass; apply within 60 days of passing both or the entire exam is voided. Initiate the FBI Criminal Background report before you schedule — sitting early voids scores; the KAR report life is 90 days. Live Fee Schedule: $130 active / $120 inactive original, $60 broker upgrade, $130/$120 even-year March 31 renewal, $200 late renewal, $1,000 CE/CORE late. 201 KAR 11:210 still prints $60 original + $60 recovery fund; this hub follows the live cart and notes the lag.

PLE is 48 named hours (Commission Compliance 3, Agency 6, Contracts 6, Finance 3, Advertising 3, Disclosure 3, Fair Housing 3, Technology & Data Security 3, Risk Management 2, plus 16 elective) within two years of an active license issued after January 1, 2016. Then 6 hours CE each calendar year (3 law) and the Kentucky Core Course once every four years — no substitute. Live Reciprocal License page names Florida, Illinois, and Tennessee; the PSI bulletin still lists Ohio, Tennessee, West Virginia, or Florida. Confirm the live agreement. This paper cannot be renamed to another state: the credential is sales associate, the state paper is 50 items, the apply fuse is 60 days, and Brokerage Management is 48 hours.
