(1) The commission shall register all applicants who meet the requirements of this part 4 and provide each applicant so registered with a certificate indicating that the developer named therein is registered in the state of Colorado as a subdivision developer. The developer which will sign as seller or lessor in any contract of sale, lease, or deed purporting to convey any site, tract, lot, or divided or undivided interest from a subdivision shall secure a certificate before offering, negotiating, or agreeing to sell, lease, or transfer before such sale, lease, or transfer is made. If such person or entity is acting only as a trustee, the beneficial owner of the subdivision shall secure a certificate. A certificate issued to a developer shall entitle all sales agents and employees of such developer to act in the capacity of a developer as agent for such developer. The developer shall be responsible for all actions of such sales agents and employees.

(2) All certificates issued under this section shall expire on December 31 following the date of issuance. In the absence of any reason or condition under this part 4 that might warrant the denial or revocation of a registration, a certificate shall be renewed by payment of a renewal fee established pursuant to section 12-61-111.5. A registration that has expired may be reinstated within two years after such expiration upon payment of the appropriate renewal fee if the applicant meets all other requirements of this part 4.

(3) All fees collected under this part 4 shall be deposited in accordance with section 12-61-111.

(4) With regard to any subdivision for which the information required by section 12-61-403 (3) has not been previously submitted to the commission, each registered developer shall register such subdivision by providing the commission with such information before sale, lease, or transfer, or negotiating or agreeing to sell, lease, or transfer, any such subdivision or any part thereof.
