Removal of the license - Maximum penalty for violation of F.S. 475.

• A. Revocation
• B. Suspension
• C. Probation
• D. Administrative fine

Answer: (A)

Disciplinary actions under Florida’s real estate license statute include various sanctions, and the question is about the most severe penalty available for violations of F.S. 475. The licensee’s authority to practice is removed through revocation, which is the maximum sanction because it ends the license itself. Suspension is temporary, and the license can be restored after a set period. Probation places conditions on the licensee while allowing continued practice, and an administrative fine is a monetary penalty rather than removing the license. Therefore, revocation stands as the strongest, most lasting consequence.
