The current citation schedule lists $1,000 for the mailing-address notification violation and $600 for failing to notify FREC of becoming a nonresident. These are different violations. Do not confuse either citation amount with a general disciplinary maximum or assume every violation follows the same warning process.
Adopted rules and statutory references checked October 18, 2026.
Compare the two requirements
| Requirement | Time limit | Listed citation fine |
|---|---|---|
| Notify DBPR of a change in current mailing address under Rule 61J2-10.038. | Within 10 days of the change. | $1,000 — Rule 61J2-24.002(2)(bb). |
| A Florida resident licensee becomes a nonresident: notify the commission and comply with nonresident requirements under section 475.180(2)(a). | Within 60 days. | $600 — Rule 61J2-24.002(2)(a). |

Why the notice type matters
- Notice of noncompliance: a corrective notice for an initial offense of a qualifying minor violation listed in Rule 61J2-24.003. It is not a universal first-violation waiver.
- Citation: the specific fine or conditions listed for an eligible violation under Rule 61J2-24.002. Read the complete conduct and any first- or second-offense condition.
- Regular discipline: a separate process using the applicable statute and disciplinary guidelines; it can involve more than a citation fine.
Example: A question asking for the listed citation fine for the mailing-address violation points to $1,000. A question about a qualifying initial minor violation and a corrective notice asks a different question. Match the violation and process before selecting a number.
For mailing and email address changes specifically, Rule 61J2-10.038(2) calls for a citation for a first failure to comply and disciplinary proceedings for second or later violations. Do not substitute a first-offense warning for that rule.
Moving out of Florida can trigger more than one requirement
The 60-day residency notice does not give a licensee 60 days to satisfy a separate 10-day mailing-address requirement. Business-address and employer changes also have their own requirements. Read what changed and which notice the question identifies.
What if a video and textbook disagree?
Check the exact violation, the effective date, and the current adopted rule. For these two citation entries, the current figures are $1,000 and $600. A recording that gives $500 and $300 for the same entries should be submitted for review. A different fine elsewhere in the law may concern a different violation or procedure.
Try three practice questions
- What is the listed citation fine for failure to timely notify DBPR of the current mailing address or a change in it?
- A Florida resident licensee becomes a nonresident. What are the residency-notification deadline and the listed citation fine for failure to notify as prescribed?
- Is every first violation automatically entitled to a notice of noncompliance?
Answers and explanations
- $1,000. Use the mailing-address entry in the adopted citation schedule.
- 60 days; $600. Keep this requirement separate from the mailing-address deadline.
- No. The violation must qualify under the applicable noncompliance rule.
