FAQs

I am unsure whether I am an Associate member or a Regular member.
Associate members are firms that provide services and products to the real estate industry, including but not limited to lawyers, consultants, accountants, designers, contractors and architects. Regular members are those who are property/facility/asset managers, developers or building engineers.

Another way to look at the distinction is that Associate members perform tenant improvement design and construction, install a new roof, provide building maintenance and security, sell a product, etc.

What is the cost of membership?

Membership dues are determined annually and are based on individual members. 

The annual cost of one property manager is $720.  Additional employees from a property management firm cost $555 each.  If there are six or more people at a property management firm, you can apply for a corporate membership for up to six members for $2,340. Each additional member from the Property Management firm can join for $390 each.  If you only manage Industrial Properties, your annual fee would be $305.

An associate or a vendor member would pay $910.  Additional people from the vendor firm would pay $780 each.

We pro-rate the dues from July - September by 60%.

If you join in October, November, or December, you will pay the annual fees (listed above) and receive 15 months of membership for the cost of 12 months.

All memberships expire on December 31st.  Renewal reminder emails will be sent beginning in October.  If you are unable to pay your annual membership fees by February 28, your membership will be inactivated.  Vendors, to rejoin, must go on the waiting list. 

I would like my building to join. How do you compute the membership dues?
Membership is based on individual members, not on the square footage that you manage. If you have more than one person from your property management firm joining, we can discuss a corporate membership, which is for six members at a cost.

Since I am joining during the year, are dues prorated?
Yes, dues are prorated by 60% in the months of July, August and September.

Is the membership for one person or for the company?
One person. Unless your property management firm has a corporate membership. Remember, though, if you leave that company, the membership stays with the company that paid; it does not get transferred to the person who left.

My membership indicates that one person is federated with BOMA International. What does that mean?
The federated member will be acknowledged as the representative for BOMA International. In addition to receiving BOMA/FTLPB mailings, the federated representative will receive information at the national level from BOMA. The federated representative will be entitled to member pricing for BOMA International events and publications.

If I am a member of BOMA/FTLPB, is there a discount in joining other BOMA associations?
There are approximately 92 BOMA associations throughout the United States, Canada and internationally. Each BOMA is a separate entity responsible for specific geographic regions. There is currently no discount provided for multiple BOMA memberships.

Why sponsor a BOMA/FTLPB event?
