Who is a cemetery lot owner exempt from?

A cemetery lot owner is exempt from obtaining a real estate license because they are not engaged in the business of real estate brokerage or sales. The ownership of a cemetery lot does not require the same level of professional training and regulatory compliance as other types of real estate transactions, such as buying or selling residential or commercial properties. Therefore, individual owners do not need to be licensed real estate professionals to manage their own property rights in a cemetery lot.

In contrast, paying property taxes, registering with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), and conducting appraisals are legal requirements or regulations that are generally applicable to property ownership and professional activities in real estate. These obligations ensure proper governance and compliance within the real estate market.
