2010 Billing Dues FAQs
1. When is the due date?
If you have not paid in full by December 31, 2009 or made arrangements for installment payments, you will be subject to a $100 late fee. Dues must be received in full by March 1, 2010 to retain your REALTOR® privileges.
2. Why are the dues so high?
As a local association, we collect dues on behalf of the state and the national association. In September of 2009, the IAR Board of Directors, including State Directors representing local boards, voted to raise the dues for the Idaho Association of REALTORS®. The increase resulted in an increase of $28.50 over last year.
The increase of dues is to ensure that REALTOR® services can continue with the same quality of service. With decreased membership in recent years, the association has experienced a decrease in revenue. The association has been working off of their reserves for the last 2 years, but has come to a point where it is necessary to increase dues in order to maintain the level and quality of service.
Breakdown of percentages:
