2020 ANNUAL DUES
You received your invoice in the amount of
$585
for your annual REALTOR® dues in mid-December. The local Association and the National Association of REALTORS® did not increase the dues amount for 2020, however, NC REALTORS® did vote to increase their portion of the dues by $20 per member for 2020. Therefore, the dues will be
$585
for the year. You are reminded of the bylaws regarding dues payment which states: “Section 3. Dues Payable. Membership dues for the calendar year are due on January 1, payable by January 31. Notice will be given on February 1 that the membership will be terminated on February 15 if payment is not received by that date.” You may pay your dues online through the NAR IMS payment system, with a personal check, money order, MasterCard, Visa or American Express. Please do not bring cash--we do not have change. PLEASE PAY ON TIME!!!!

RPAC BILLING
Several years ago, a line item was added to your annual dues invoice for a voluntary contribution to RPAC. If paying with a corporate/company check, please do
NOT
include the RPAC amount on the check since RPAC cannot accept corporate money. Your contribution will gladly be accepted when written on your
personal check
. Thank you for your continued support of RPAC and the issues related to the real estate industry protected by these funds.
