Next renewal date

December 31, 2026Annual renewal. Codified in Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies (RCSA) § 20-280-25(a): a CPA license 'shall be valid for a period of one year from January 1 to December 31,' renewed annually with the fee due by December 31. CT DCP's own renewal page corroborates practically: 'CPA license and/or registration is renewed annually, expiring on December 31st of each year.' Renewal notices emailed Oct-Dec 31.

Next renewal date

Not confirmedThe CPA Firm Permit renewal form/fee is bundled on the same official page and renewal-period as the individual license (notices emailed Oct-Dec 31), which states annual/Dec 31 renewal -- but that exact sentence names only 'license and/or registration,' not 'Firm Permit' specifically, so the Dec 31 date for firm permits is inferred from bundling/context, not a directly-quoted statement.

Not independently verified

2026-07-30 re-check confirms the prior conclusion still holds, no rule change found. Conn. Gen. Stat. 20-281e(b) (firm permit statute): 'Permits shall be initially issued and renewed annually. Applications for permits shall be made in such form, and in the case of applications for renewal, between such dates as the board may by regulation specify' -- i.e. the statute explicitly delegates the firm-permit renewal date to board regulation, it does not fix Dec 31 itself. Freshly re-confirmed RCSA 20-280-25(a)'s exact text governs the 'license' (individual), not the 'permit' (firm): 'A license issued under chapter 389 ... shall be valid ... from January 1 to December 31.' No RCSA section was found that sets a firm-permit-specific date. Recommend continuing to publish next_deadline_computed = null with this data gap note; visitors should confirm their firm permit's exact renewal date with CT DCP or on the permit itself.
