## Licences under the Real Estate

74,787 active licences are regulated by this board — 6.0% of the register, spread over 15 distinct licence categories.

**1,206** of the 74,787 active licences under this board carry at
least one disciplinary action in IDFPR's file — 1.6%.

This site publishes that count and no more. It never names who,
and never says why: in Illinois a licence can be suspended for unpaid state
taxes, child support arrears or a defaulted student loan, none of which says
anything about how someone does their job. The detail is on IDFPR's own record
and on an individual entry here, which has no address a search engine can
reach. [Why that line is drawn there](/discipline.md).
