You might need zero hours
If this is your first time renewing your Florida license, you don’t need any CE this time. That’s straight from the board’s rule. You still have to renew and pay by March 31, 2027, but you can skip the 30 hours.
Everyone else needs 30 hours, and some of those hours have to be on certain topics. That’s where people get stuck.
What the organizer does
- Tracks your hours by topic. Medical errors, ethics or telehealth, laws and rules, domestic violence, and supervisor training, each counted on its own.
- Shows what you still need. One number at the top, plus a line for each topic that says Done or how many hours to go.
- Counts down to your deadline. Days left until March 31, 2027, updated every day.
- Handles the tricky parts. It knows first renewals need 0 hours, that ethics and telehealth take turns, and that only 6 non-clinical hours can count.
What Florida requires for 2027
These rules are the same for LMHCs, LCSWs and LMFTs.
| Requirement | Hours | How often |
|---|---|---|
| Total CE | 30 | Every renewal, except your first |
| Medical errors | 2 | Every renewal |
| Ethics and boundaries or telehealth | 3 | Every renewal, taking turns |
| Laws and rules | 3 | Every third renewal |
| Domestic violence | 2 | Every third renewal |
| Supervisor training | 4 | Every third renewal, qualified supervisors only |
Laws and rules, domestic violence and supervisor training count inside your 30 hours, not on top of them. Sources: Florida Board renewal page and Rule 64B4-6.001.
Who made this
I’m Gabriel Benaim, a Florida LMHC. I run Degree to License to put Florida licensing info for counseling, social work and MFT interns and new therapists in one place. The renewal rules are spread across a rule book, the board’s website and CE Broker. This sheet puts them on one page that tells you what’s left.
One honest note
This sheet helps you plan. It is not your official CE Broker record. When you renew, the state checks CE Broker, so make sure every course shows up there too.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. You get the sheet and five short emails with renewal tips.
Does it replace CE Broker?
No. CE Broker is what the state checks. Use the organizer to plan and keep track, then make sure CE Broker matches.
I’m an LCSW or LMFT. Does this work for me?
Yes. All three licenses follow the same CE rules and the same March 31, 2027 deadline.
How do I know if laws and rules is due for me?
It comes due every third renewal, so it depends on when you were first licensed. Your CE Broker account can tell you. If you’re not sure, the sheet counts it just to be safe.
Will you recommend CE courses?
In one email I share CE4Less, which I’ve used for a few of my own courses. That’s an affiliate link, and I say so in the email.
