Payment Plans Available
May I make partial payments?
If you are a REALTOR® member and your primary membership is held with DeKalb REALTORS®, you will have a Payment Plan option when making payment online. In addition to the renewal amount, a convenience fee of $16 will be added if you choose to participate in the Payment Plan. Four equal installments will be applied to your credit card: first, on the day you enroll; followed by automatic withdrawals approximately 30 days, 60 days and 90 days from your first payment. Y avoid the first rate increase. The Order Summary screen will still reflect the full amount of the membership renewal.
Please note this plan is available only online and payments will be processed automatically to the credit card information you provide (the plan cannot be paid with a check). This payment plan is for renewing members (new member applications have their own payment plan). You must renew online by October 31st in order to take advantage of the payment plan. Members utilizing the payment plan that are not paid in full as of 90 days from the date of their first payment on the plan, are subject to late fees up to $75.
TERMS
By signing up for the payment plan online, I give authorization to the DeKalb REALTORS® to charge my credit/debit card account for my 2022 membership renewal on the specified installment dates. All payments are non-refundable.

Do I have to invest in RPAC?
Your renewal invoice online includes a voluntary RPAC investment which is strongly encouraged, but is ultimately voluntary. Please note that RPAC saves the typical REALTOR® nearly $25,000 each year and, without RPAC, you would be paying significantly more in operating costs annually. As you go through the prompts to pay online, you have the ability to modify and/or remove the RPAC amount (you will see an edit link next to the RPAC amount) just before you input your credit card information.
Is the NAR Consumer Advertising Campaign contribution optional?
Each year, your Renewal Statement contains a separate line item for the NAR Consumer Advertising Campaign.
The Consumer Advertising Campaign (also known as the National Consumer Awareness Campaign) will allow NAR to deliver messages quickly and effectively to consumers and public policymakers about issues that matter to REALTORS® and their clients – issues like access to affordable mortgage financing, tax incentives to home ownership, overly stringent credit requirements and cumbersome short sales and foreclosures.
As you may know, the Consumer Advertising Campaign remains one of the most popular programs among NAR members… 95% of REALTORS® favored the advertising program, and 91% would like to see more NAR advertising that protects homeownership, promotes real estate investment, and advances the REALTOR® profession.
While this line item is distinct from your NAR dues, it is not optional. For more information on the Consumer Advertising Campaign, please visit www.nar.realtor/
What if I miss the deadline?
For members who have not renewed in full or initiated the payment plan by the following dates, a rate increase will be applied:
November 1st, $25
December 1st, $25
January 1st, $25
For members participating in a Payment Plan, the renewal amount will not increase if paid in full by January 31, 2022. After January 31, a $75 increase will be applied.
As you go through the prompts to pay online, you have the ability to modify and/or remove the RPAC amount (you’ll see an edit link next to the RPAC amount) just before you input your credit card information.

Required Membership Fees and Tax Information
2022 GAR DUES BILLING/ESTIMATED LOBBYING EXPENSE DEDUCTION ALLOWANCE:
The portion of dues paid that is spent to lobby the State and Federal governments is not deductible for income tax purposes and the IRS requires that all dues statements disclose this information. GAR has estimated that $8.15 (8.32%) is the nondeductible portion of 2022 GAR dues. The disclosure must include the words “NOT DEDUCTIBLE FOR INCOME TAX” and must be on the invoice in the same size type as other information. Omitting this required disclosure could result in liability for a proxy tax.
RPAC Disclaimer
Contributions to RPAC are voluntary and are used for political purposes. You may refuse to contribute without reprisal and 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 contributed. 70% of each contribution is used by your state PAC to support state and local political candidates. Until your state PAC reaches its RPAC goal 30% is sent to National RPAC to support federal candidates and is charged against your limits under 2 U.S.C. 441a; after the state PAC reaches its RPAC goal it may elect to retain your entire contribution for use in supporting state and local candidates.
