Arizona Professional Engineer (PE) licenses renew every three years (triennial). Arizona currently does not require continuing education (PDH) hours for PE license renewal. The approximate renewal fee is $225 per cycle. Online renewal is available through the state board portal. Arizona renews on a three-year cycle. The Board of Technical Registration processes engineer renewals triennially, so budget for one larger fee every three years rather than a smaller one every two. No continuing education is required for engineers. The fee shown is the full triennial amount, roughly $75 a year.
Free for your first license. We'll email you at 90, 60, and 30 days before every renewal, then at 7, 3, and 1 day out, for Arizona and every other state you hold.
Everything it takes to legally practice engineering in Arizona: your individual PE license, your firm's Certificate of Authorization, and the Secretary-of-State / tax filings that keep the entity in good standing.
