NEW BOARD POLICIES

                   Work Permit:

                   Where a qualified applicant has applied to register as a dealer or a salesman but he                      is not a Jamaican, the Real Estate Board will issue a provisional registration letter.                    Final approval for registration and licencing will not be approved until the applicant                      has provided a work permit.      

                    Persons Requesting Cancellation:

                    Practitioners who have been cancelled but had outstanding fees at the time of

                    cancellation MUST pay all outstanding fees, prior to re-registration to conduct the

                    business of real estate.

                    Proof of Address:

Applicants must provide a recent utility bill, for a period less than four (4) months or a letter, authorised by a Justice of the Peace (JP), confirming proof of address, when applying for registration.

                    Addition of Tax Registration Number (TRN):

                    Applicants must supply their Tax Registration Number (TRN) when applying for

                    registration.

CHANGE IN THE WAY FEES ARE PAID

Please note that as of April 1, 2008 you may make your payments by using your Debit Card at the office of the Real Estate Board. We will still be utilising Bank of Nova Scotia vouchers.  Vouchers are available at the office of the Real Estate Board. 

Upon payment of the fees, please take in the Board’s copy of the voucher to the office of the Real Estate Board or fax to (876) 926-0010. 

It is important that dealers and salesmen are licensed as it is illegal to practice the business of real estate without a licence.  The sanctions for non compliance are referred to in Section 10 (2) of the Real Estate (Dealers & Developers) Act.  In addition, all developers of schemes in excess of five (5) lots/units must also be registered by the Real Estate Board.  The sanctions for non compliance are referred to in Section 35 (7) of the Real Estate (Dealers & Developers) Act.

NB: Only Manager's Cheques and Debit Cards Will Be Accepted By The Real Estate Board
