For whom must a broker remit license fees to the Commissioner?

A broker is responsible for remitting license fees to the Commissioner for the broker themselves, the brokerage company they operate under, and all affiliated salespersons. This process ensures that all parties involved in the real estate transactions under the brokerage are in compliance with state licensing regulations.

By remitting fees for the broker, the company, and the affiliated salespersons, the broker fulfills their obligation to maintain an active status for each licensed individual, which is crucial for legal operations in real estate. This collective responsibility underscores the broker's role in overseeing the compliance of all members operating under their license. It reflects a structured approach to maintaining the integrity and professionalism of real estate operations within the brokerage.

Focusing solely on the broker or the company would disregard the importance of the salespersons who are key to the business's functionality and compliance. Additionally, only remitting for salespersons would not account for the broker's own requirements and could lead to lapses in licensure that affect the entire brokerage.
