Dues payments and assessments for your local association, C.A.R. and NAR, and contributions to RAF are not tax deductible as charitable contributions. However, the dues portion of your bill, excluding the portion of dues used for lobbying activities, REALTOR® Action Assessment and REALTOR® Action Fund, may be deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses. Contributions to C.A.R. Housing Affordability Fund are charitable and tax-deductible to the extent allowed under both federal and state law. Please consult your tax professional.
* The REALTOR® Action Assessment ($69 of the $225) will automatically be deposited into CREPAC, CREIEC, and/or IMPAC and used for other political purposes. Those wishing to have their assessment entirely applied for more general political purposes may specify in writing and it will be redirected into a different account instead of one of the dedicated California real estate PACs (CREPAC, CREIEC or IMPAC). Designated REALTORS® must pay the $69 REALTOR® Action Assessment for each licensee of that DR (as shown in the nonmember count), and the payment will be treated in the same manner as the REALTOR® Action Assessment for members.
**Make a difference by helping promote REALTOR® interests through the political process and designate an additional $49 or more to the REALTOR® Party of California. $49 is the suggested additional voluntary contribution but you may give more, or less, or nothing at all.

†Voluntary charges will be in addition to your monthly payments and processed as a one-time separate bill.
