An unrenewed license becomes delinquent and the licensee must cease practice until renewed/reactivated. Under F.S. 481.225, CE failure and other violations may lead to license denial, suspension or revocation, reprimand, probation, practice restrictions, and administrative fines up to $1,000 per count - up to $5,000 for a material Florida Building Code violation. Delinquent-status licensees may not practice architecture until the license is renewed or reactivated.Verify with board
