Membership Dues 

 See below for information on how to budget for your renewal dues.  As a reminder, renewal dues invoices will be sent out in November 2022 with a due date of January 4th, 2023.  Dues received after February 28th will be subject to a $50 re-instatement fee. 

Communities & Property Management Members:  

To calculate your dues simply find the pricing tier that applies to your property and multiply times the per unit cost.  For example, if your community has 250 units you would be in the 201 - 300 pricing tier at $3.43 per unit.  

(250 units x $3.43 per unit = $857.50 Dues Investment)

Community/Property Dues Tiers:

  • New Construction: $2.93 per unit
  • 0 - 60 Units:  $195.00 (Flat Fee Per Year)
  • 61 - 200 Units: $3.53 per unit
  • 201 - 300 Units: $3.43 per unit
  • 301 - 400 Units: $3.33 per unit
  • 401 - 500 Units: $3.23 per unit
  • 500+ Units: $2.95 per unit

Don't forget to include the $50 Advance The Industry Fund contribution, and support our industry efforts at the local, state, and national level!  To learn more about this contribution click here.

Note:  Renewal dues received after February 28th, 2024 are subject to a $25 extension fee.  Members that are dropped for non-payment are subject to a $50 reinstatement fee to reactive membership.  Florida/NAA/Blue Moon lease users are required to maintain membership in good standing in order to access the lease.

Supplier Dues

2024 Supplier Renewal Dues are $475 per company, not including the $50 voluntary advocacy fee!

Prorated Dues

If your community or company joined after January 1st, 2023 your dues invoice for renewal will be prorated based on the number of days remaining in the period of your membership.  You will still receive your renewal in November 2023 along with the full renewals.  For example, if you joined in March 31st your dues would be priced based on April 1st - December 31st.
