State PDH & CE Requirements

State-by-state PE license PDH requirements and compliance

PE, Surveyor & Architect PDH Requirements — by State

Continuing-education rules differ in every state: how many PDH, whether ethics is mandatory, carryover limits, deadlines, and whether the board pre-approves providers. Use the directory below to find your state and license.

How to use this

  • Pick your state → choose PE, Land Surveyor, or Architect.
  • Each page lists the hours, ethics rule, renewal cycle, and pre-approval notes, with a link to the board and the official rule.

We keep these summaries current and sourced, but requirements change — always confirm with your licensing board. PDH Options provides education, not legal advice.

Plain-language continuing-education (PDH/CE) requirement summaries for every U.S. jurisdiction and license type. Not legal advice — confirm current rules with your board.
