Under what condition can the IDFPR deny a license renewal for a real estate licensee?

The IDFPR (Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation) can deny a license renewal for a real estate licensee if that individual is in violation of court-ordered child support. This is rooted in Illinois law, specifically the Child Support Enforcement Act, which allows for professional licenses to be suspended or denied if the licensee has not complied with a court order regarding child support payments. Ensuring that individuals fulfill their financial obligations to support their children is a legal priority, and impacts on a license renewal reflect this responsibility.

In contrast, while being in arrears on federal taxes or defaulting on local association dues can lead to financial and legal consequences, they are not specified under the requirements that would trigger a denial of a real estate license renewal by the IDFPR. Generally, ordinance violations might result in other penalties or fines but do not typically affect licensing status unless they amount to a criminal charge affecting professional conduct.
