- (a) The renewal fee authorized by ORS 696.530, and
- (b) An online renewal application that includes the training certification and contact information required by ORS 696.511(6).
- (3) A licensee has a 30-day grace period after June 30 in which to renew the expired license. The licensee may not engage in escrow operations during that time. No late fee is required for late renewal.
