Refund Policy

Fees for NVRA events and classes are non-refundable unless registration is cancelled 48 hours in advance of the event. This allows staff to negotiate the best prices with venues and ensure events go smoothly. Thank you for your understanding. 

REALTOR® Dues Not Tax-Deductible 
Compliance with the Tax Reform Act of 1993 requires that the portion of dues attributable to lobbying and political activities at the State and Federal levels of government be considered nondeductible for income tax purposes.

For 2023, with dues at $150 per member, NAR computes 43 percent or $64.5 to be nondeductible for the member's income tax purposes due to NAR lobbying efforts. Please note that the entire $45 Consumer Advertising Campaign special assessment qualifies as fully deductible. Membership dues are not deductible as charitable contributions but may be deductible as an ordinary and necessary business expense subject to restrictions imposed as a result of association lobbying activities.

For 2023, with dues at $345 per member, VAR computes that .0325% of VAR dues or $12.25 are non-deductible due to VAR lobbying and political activities. For 2023, local dues are completely deductible as no local funds are attributable to lobbying activities.
