2009 Dues
Billing Q&A
Q. How
will I receive my dues invoice this year?
A. E-mail billing
has been a tremendous success for the past two years. You will be receiving
your dues invoice via e-mail again this year. You will NOT be
mailed a paper copy.
Q. How
do I make sure RRAR has the correct e-mail address for me?
A. Please
verify your personal roster information in Tempo and update your e-mail
address there if needed.
Q. When
are 2009 membership dues due?
A. January
31, 2009.
Q. Is there
a late fee?
A. Yes. Any
dues received after January 31, 2009 will incur a $75 late penalty.
Q.
How much are my REALTORS® dues and what is the “breakdown”?
A. The
RRAR local dues are $171; the N.C. Association dues are $130;
the national Association dues are $115. Since this board collects
all dues (local, state and national) your total amount is $416.
Also, if you had not paid your NCAR Dues Assessment by September 30,
2008, it will be $70.
Q. Have
dues increased?
A. Yes. The
national Association has increased dues by $5. The state Association
has increased by $25. RRAR’s dues remain the
same for the eighth consecutive year.
Q. What
is the most convenient way to pay?
A. Paying
online with a credit card is quick, easy and secure. You can also print a
receipt for your records.
Q. Are
dues refundable if I decide to put my license on inactive status
later in the year?
A. No. According
to the Bylaws dues are non-refundable.
Q. Is
dues tax deductible as a business expense?
A. Yes. Annual
dues are a deductible business expense except for $91.60. This
amount is dedicated to lobbying expenses and, as provided in the 1994
Tax Act, is a non-deductible expense.
Failure
to receive a notification does not relieve you of the requirement
to meet established payment deadlines.
