REALTOR® Action Assessment

During the June business meetings in Sacramento, C.A.R.'s board of directors adopted a special assessment of $49 per member for the 2011 dues bill cycle.  The REALTOR® Action Assessment (RAA) can be directed to the California Real Estate Political Action Committee (CREPAC) or other political purposes; or, if the C.A.R. member chooses, entirely to the C.A.R. general fund for non-candidate political purposes.

Over the past few years, C.A.R.'s PAC funds have greatly diminished.  C.A.R. PACS used to be in the top 10 of political action committees in California, but now ranks 37th, according to a recent study of PAC spending in California.  Special interest groups routinely outspend the Association's PACS on a regular basis. The RAA adopted by the C.A.R. board of directors will help rectify this growing imbalance.

C.A.R. has developed a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document for members about the RAA.  The FAQ is available here.
