What this means for firm owners in Michigan
Michigan PE licenses renew on this schedule: biennial; renews October 31. Each PE needs 30 PDH per biennium, including 2 PDH of ethics.
Use the Michigan board site to confirm the renewal cycle and any professional development requirements before setting staff deadlines. Track each PE’s renewal date and completed PDH, and leave time to resolve questions with the board before a renewal is due.
For hires licensed elsewhere, confirm Michigan’s comity requirements with the board. Ask whether an NCEES Record is part of the process.
Owner checklist
- Check the Michigan board site for each employee’s renewal cycle and deadline.
- Confirm the PDH requirements and keep a record of staff completions.
- For out-of-state PE hires, confirm comity steps and whether an NCEES Record is needed.
- Ask the board whether your firm must register and what requirements apply.
