Apply for a corporation property licence

Submit and pay online for your corporation’s property licence application so you can conduct business in real estate, stock and station or strata management.

Introduction 

If your corporation wants to conduct business in real estate, stock and station or strata management, it will need a corporation property licence.

You can submit and pay for your corporation’s application online.

Note: A corporation property licence is issued for 1, 3 or 5 years and can be renewed.

Eligibility

To be eligible to apply:

  • you must be either a director or company secretary
  • each director of the corporation must be ‘fit and proper’ to hold a licence
  • no director or officer of the corporation can be a disqualified person
  • you must have:
    • at least one director who holds an individual property licence
    • a nominated licensee in charge who holds a class 1 licence
    • paid relevant contributions to the Property Services Compensation Fund
    • a registered office in NSW. Alternatively, the registered office can be within 50 kilometres of the NSW border, but only if the licensee holds a current licence or authority from that jurisdiction (see section 28 – Registered office and address of the Property and Stock Agents Act 2002).

Note: 

  • The licensee of a business must hold their licence in the same field of work the agency undertakes (real estate, stock and station, strata management).
