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 the option to initiate a online Payment Plan with 4 installments. In addition to the renewal amount, a convenience fee of $25 will be added to your dues bill if you choose to participate in the Payment Plan.
Four installments will be applied to your credit card: first, on the day you enroll; followed by automatic withdrawals 30, 60, and 90 days from the date of your initial payment. You must renew online by October 31st in order to take advantage of the payment plan and to avoid the first late fee. The Order Summary screen will still reflect the full amount of the membership renewal until the entire amount (all 4 payments) has been paid.
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 January 31, 2025, 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 membership renewal on the specified installment dates. All payments are non-refundable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Click here for information on our Renewal Refund Policy.
Did my Membership Dues increase?
Your National and Local Association dues remain at $156 and $149 respectively. You State dues did increase from $100 to $125.
Is the $45 NAR Consumer Advertising Campaign contribution optional?
No. Each year, your Renewal Statement contains a special assessment for the NAR Consumer Advertising Campaign.
The Consumer Advertising Campaign (also known as the Public Awareness Campaign) allows 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/consumer-advertising-campaign.
NAR dues are $156, plus the annual Consumer Advertising Campaign fee of $45. Each year we ask REALTOR members to invest $24 in RPAC, and Brokers to invest $100. This line item on your invoice is voluntary. There is an edit button to increase or decrease the amount. Click here to see how the value of DeKalb Association of REALTORS® membership adds up to nearly $1,600 in savings annually, a substantial return on your investment.
Is the $24 RPAC investment optional?
Yes. 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) before you input your credit card information.
Is there a Convenience Fee if I pay by Credit Card?
A $25 convenience fee will be added for using your credit card to pay your dues. This is to offset the fees that the Association is charged by your credit card company.
How may I obtain my Username or Password?
From the login screen, you may recover or reset your password. If you do not know your username or password, you may request that it be emailed to you from the member portal. At the login screen click “Get Started” in the grey box on the right. Enter your name, NRDS# or GA real estate license # and click continue. The next screen will show the email address a reset link will be emailed to, and your user name.
What payment methods may I use?
You may pay by check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express. We are asking members to pay online with your credit card. It is the most convenient way to pay.
Is my credit card charged immediately?
Yes, the charge is completed during the renewal transaction. If you have incorrectly entered the number or expiration date, or if there is another problem with the card, you will be unable to complete the transaction.
What if I wish to pay by check?
- Make your check payable to DeKalb REALTORS®.
- Include your Real Estate License # on the check.
- Submit payment to 1414 Montreal Road East, Tucker, GA 30084
- Please include a copy of your invoice.
I am a Broker. How may I view who in my office still needs to renew?
Brokers/Designated REALTORS® may now manage your office and your agents’ membership online.

- 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. 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) on the page before you input your credit card information.

Required Membership Fees and Tax Information
GAR DUES BILLING/ESTIMATED LOBBYING EXPENSE DEDUCTION ALLOWANCE:
The portion of dues paid that is spent to lobby the State and Federal governments are not deductible for income tax purposes and the IRS requires that all dues statements disclose this information. GAR has estimated that $7.44 (7.59%) is the nondeductible portion of 2025 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.
