BCSRAOR & MLS Policies
Payment Policy
You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to pay all membership fees to the National Association of REALTORS®, Texas REALTORS®, Bryan College Station Regional Association of REALTORS®, Bryan College Station Regional Multiple Listing Service and Supra, where membership applies, by the due date(s), whether or not an e-bill was received. Access for all unpaid memberships will be suspended once due dates have passed, and a late fee or reinstatement fee will be applied to your account. Reinstating members are not eligible for any proration or waiver of membership fees. If payment is still not received by the timeframe outlined in the governing documents, membership(s) will be terminated.
All credit card payments must be made online via the Member Portal, and split payments are not accepted. WE DO NOT ACCEPT CHECKS, CASH OR MONEY ORDERS.
Unreported Licensee Policy
If you have a licensed agent who has joined your brokerage but has not joined BCSRAOR, that agent is considered an Unreported Licensee.
When BCSRAOR learns of an Unreported Licensee from TREC, we will automatically send the agent's broker a courtesy notice and add a non-member assessment fee to their account.
Upon receiving this notice, a broker has 30 days to resolve the Unreported Licensee on their account. This can be resolved by having the agent join BCSRAOR as a Primary or Secondary REALTOR® member, terminating the agent's sponsorship with TREC, or paying the non-member assessment.
Failure to resolve an Unreported Licensee within the 30-day period will result in a suspension of BCSRAOR and MLS services for all agents in that broker's office. A late fee or reinstatement fee will also be applied to the broker's account at that time.
Registration and Refund Policy
We encourage you to register for a course at least two (2) days prior to the class or event date so we can prepare for your participation.
We understand that schedules change, and you may need to cancel a registration. Classes and paid events can be canceled and refunded up to 48 hours before the class / event. No refunds will be issued past cancelation deadline.
A member cannot transfer their registration to another member for classes or events. You may, however, transfer to a future date the course is being offered at no additional charge, up until the start time for that class.
If for any reason the class or event is canceled by BCSRAOR, you may receive a full refund or transfer to a new date it is being offered.
Walk ins are not permitted, unless noted on the class/event advertisement or registration.
BCSRAOR Member and MLS Agreement
By submitting this application, I agree to abide by the Bylaws and Code of Ethics of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), Texas REALTORS® (TR), the Bryan College Station Regional Association of REALTORS® (BCSRAOR), and Privacy Policy, as amended from time to time. If BCSRMLS membership is held, I also agree to abide by the the Bryan College Station Regional Multiple Listing Service (BCSRMLS); the rules and regulations of the Bryan College Station Regional Multiple Listing Service (BCSRMLS), BCSRMLS board policy, and BCSRMLS’s Website Terms of Use, as amended from time to time.

I agree that failure to provide complete and accurate information as requested, or any misstatement of fact, can be grounds for revocation of my membership.
I understand that this is a legal agreement between BCSRAOR and me, and if indicated, between MLS and me. This Agreement shall continue until terminated by BCSRAOR or MLS, as applicable, for my breach of the Agreement, including, for example, my failure to pay fees, attend required classes, or abide by the BCSRAOR or MLS rules and regulations, as applicable. BCSRAOR and MLS reserve the right to amend this Agreement without prior notice by posting updates or changes to BCSrealtor.com.

Furthermore, by submitting this application, I understand that the annual membership renewal for BCSRAOR, TR, and NAR is due the first week in January, the exact date may vary each year (see current year’s billing communications). I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to pay dues in a timely manner, whether or not a mailed bill or an e-bill was received; and that I will be asked to pay a late fee or reinstatement fee after the due date if membership has not been renewed by that date. MLS, REALTOR® local, state, and national dues and fees are non-refundable.
2025 Dues/TREPAC Deductibility Dues Renewal Invoices
The following amounts for certain lobbying and political expenditures are not deductible for income tax purposes: 35% of NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (NAR) dues or $55, 14% of Texas REALTORS® dues or $16, % of local association dues, and the $30 assessment by Texas REALTORS® for the Issues Mobilization/Political Advocacy Fund (IMPAF) are all not deductible. The remaining dues and assessment are not tax deductible as charitable contributions but may be tax deductible under other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
Contributions are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. Contributions to the Texas REALTORS® Political Action Committee (TREPAC) and the Texas Association of REALTORS® Federal Political Action Committee (TAR FedPAC)—which makes contributions to the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC)—are voluntary and may be used for political purposes. The amount indicated is merely a guideline, and you may contribute more or less than the suggested amount. You may refuse to contribute without reprisal, and the National Association of REALTORS®, Texas REALTORS®, and its local associations will not favor or disadvantage anyone because of the amount contributed. Until the RPAC annual goal is met, 70% of an individual’s contribution goes to TREPAC and may be used to support state and local candidates; the remaining 30% is sent to TAR FedPAC to support federal candidates and is charged against your limits under 52 U.S.C. 30116. (Exception: 100% of an individual’s contribution goes to TREPAC if the individual is an employee of an affiliate member of Texas REALTORS®.) After the RPAC annual goal is met, 100% of an individual’s contribution goes to TREPAC and may be used to support state and local candidates. You may contact the Texas REALTORS® political committee administrator at 800-873-9155 to obtain information about your contributions.
