Idaho requires 90 hours of pre-license education (Module 1: 45 hrs fundamentals + Module 2: 45 hrs Idaho practice). The Pearson VUE exam has 80 national + 40 state scored questions; both sections require a scaled score of 70 to pass. Idaho is a community property state and primarily uses the prior appropriation doctrine for water rights. Non-judicial foreclosure (trustee's sale) is the primary foreclosure method, with no post-sale redemption period. The Idaho Real Estate Commission (IREC) operates under DOPL. Licensees must maintain E&O insurance and complete 16 hours of CE per 2-year renewal cycle. Idaho has no formal reciprocity but offers a national exam waiver for active out-of-state licensees.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the Idaho real estate salesperson exam?
The Idaho salesperson exam has 120 scored questions: 80 national general real estate questions and 40 Idaho-specific state law questions. You must achieve a scaled score of 70 (on a 0–100 scale) on each section separately. The exam is administered by Pearson VUE at test centers in Boise, Idaho Falls, Coeur d'Alene, Twin Falls, and Pocatello, with 150 minutes for the national portion and 90 minutes for the state portion (4 hours total).
What are the education requirements for an Idaho real estate license?
Idaho requires 90 hours of pre-license education from an IREC-approved provider, divided into Module 1 (45 hours — Real Estate Fundamentals) and Module 2 (45 hours — Idaho Real Estate Practice). Both modules must be completed before taking the licensing exam. Pre-license education certificates are valid for 3 years. You must also pass the Pearson VUE exam, complete a fingerprint-based background check (~$61.25), obtain E&O insurance, and submit a $135 license application to IREC (as of 2026).
What are Idaho's unique water rights rules for real estate agents?
Idaho primarily follows the prior appropriation doctrine ('first in time, first in right'), not the riparian doctrine. Water rights are separate property interests administered by the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) and may not automatically transfer with a property deed. When selling rural property with irrigation rights, agents must ensure water rights are specifically included in the sale. Idaho buyers of rural land should investigate the priority date, point of diversion, and current IDWR status of any water rights.
How does Idaho's non-judicial foreclosure work?
Idaho primarily uses non-judicial foreclosure (trustee's sale) through a deed of trust. When a borrower defaults, the trustee can sell the property without court involvement after providing required statutory notices. There is NO post-sale redemption period for non-judicial foreclosures in Idaho, and deficiency judgments are not available after a trustee's sale. This makes Idaho's foreclosure process relatively quick and final compared to states with judicial foreclosure.
