Maryland CPA License Renewal Deadline

Maryland CPA license renewal

CPA Individual License
Date not confirmed
Next renewal date
Not confirmedBiennial (2-year) renewal on a fixed PERSONAL anniversary date, not one common statewide date. Per the Maryland Board of Public Accountancy (dllr.state.md.us/license/cpa/cpacperep.shtml): 'Maryland CPA licenses are issued for a fixed two-year period' and 'the anniversary date of license expiration is a fixed date every two years. It cannot be changed' -- licensees are instructed to check the expiration date printed on their own license, confirming dates are individualized. 80 hours of qualifying CE (incl. 4 hours ethics) is required at the second and subsequent renewals; the first renewal after initial licensure is exempt from the CE-hour requirement. No separate CPE-reporting deadline -- CE is self-reported directly on the renewal application, due on the licensee's own expiration date.

A previously drafted detail claiming reminder notices are sent at 60/45/30/15/5 days before expiration was checked directly against the source page and found NOT stated there -- removed rather than shipped unverified.
Public Accountancy Firm Permit
Date not confirmed
Next renewal date
Not confirmedFirm permits are renewed separately from individual CPA licenses (Md. Code Ann., Bus. Occ. & Prof. § 2-407, 'Term and renewal of permit') on a fixed 2-year term expiring on the first December 31 that comes after the permit's effective date, always falling in an even-numbered year -- the identical anniversary-based structure Maryland uses for individual CPA licenses (§ 2-311). Because the specific even year depends on each firm's own original permit-effective date (not one shared statewide date), we cannot publish one 'next December 31' date for every firm.

Your exact deadline depends on details specific to your own license -- see the official source above for how to determine it.
Last verified: 2026-07-05 · checked against the state's codified statute or administrative rule, not just a board webpage — if we can't verify a date against primary law, we say so instead of guessing (see how we verify every deadline). Always confirm with the official state board before relying on this date. License requirements and deadlines can change.
