Non-Deductible Membership Dues
- DUES ARE PAYABLE annually and are due on September 30 for all members. Dues are not refundable. After September 30, a $75 late fee will be added to your bill.
- TERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP – If dues, fees, fines, and other assessments are not paid by October 30, membership will terminate, and a $50 reactivation fee will be added to your bill.
- REINSTATEMENT OF MEMBERSHIP – If a member terminates membership due to nonpayment, the full year’s dues amount plus the $75 late fee and $50 reactivation fee must be paid if the member seeks to be reinstated at any time in that year.
- DUES ARE NOT DEDUCTIBLE as a charitable investment for federal income tax purposes. However, such fees may be deductible by members under other provisions of the IRS Code, such as an ordinary and necessary business expense. Please consult your tax advisor on this issue.
- LOBBYING EXPENSE NON-DEDUCTIBILITY – Certain provisions of the current tax law regarding lobbying expenses limit the extent to which your national, state, and local dues will be deductible as a business expense. Please consult your tax advisor on this issue. The estimated non-deductible portion of your dues is as follows:
| Non-Deductible Estimated Lobbying Expense Percentage | Portion |
| National Association of Realtors® (35% of $156 Annual Dues) | $55.00 |
| Virginia Realtors® (10.6% of $197 Annual Dues) | $20.88 |
| Northern Virginia Association of Realtors® (2% of $295 Annual Dues) | $5.90 |
| Total Non-Deductible Portion of Dues | $81.78 |
Note: The above NVAR percentage of estimated lobbying expenses does not include NVAR’s efforts to affect local legislation. Local legislation lobbying expenses are exempt from the non-deductibility provision of the current tax law. Please consult your tax advisor on this issue.
NORTHERN VIRGINIA REALTORS® POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE VOLUNTARY INVESTMENT – Investments to NVRPAC are voluntary and are used for political purposes; they are not deductible for federal or state income tax purposes. Members may invest more or less than the suggested amount and may refuse to invest without reprisal. The National Association of Realtors® or any of its state associations or local boards will not favor or disfavor any member because of the amount invested. NAR has established state Federal RPAC Disbursement Allocations based on anticipated National RPAC needs. Thirty percent (30%) of all investments are sent to NAR to be applied to the Federal RPAC Disbursement Allocation and are charged against the limits under 52 U.S.C. 30116 with the remaining allocated to NVRPAC (40%) and RPAC of Virginia (30%). Decisions regarding RPAC investments to meet the Federal RPAC Disbursement Allocation will be made throughout the fundraising year. The investor certifies that they are at least 18 years old and are making this investment with their own personal funds – not those of another person or entity, nor are they a foreign national or federal contractor.
