The law requires that all licensed Professional Land Surveyors and Property Line Surveyors
comply with continuing professional competency requirements as a prerequisite to their license
renewal.
- Licensees are required to obtain 24 Continuing Professional Competency credits to renew
their licenses.

B programs.
- All 24 may be in Category A programs.
- A maximum of 12 CPC units earned in excess of the 24 CPC units required for a license
renewal may be carried forward.
- An amendment to COMAR 09.13.08 became effective on February 9, 2009 requiring that
every other licensing term, all licensees are required to complete six hours of CPC in
Category A programs related to Maryland Law and Ethics or Minimum Standards of Practice.
- Licensees renewing for the first time after receiving their initial license are exempt.
