Membership
When will we receive our renewal invoice?
Prorated Membership Dues
If your community or company joined after January 1st, your dues invoice for following year will be prorated based on the number of days remaining in the period of your membership. Since a full year's worth of dues were paid when joining, you will receive a prorated dues invoice in November for the following year.
For example, if you joined on March 31st, 2025, your 2026 dues would be priced based on April 1st - December 31st.
BAAA has a very simple dues structure so that our members can easily tell how dues are calculated. To calculate your annual dues payment, you simply need to multiply the number of units in your community by the unit price found below. New members will be charged a $20 application fee.
**The National Apartment Association will begin an annual dues increase in 2026 of .09 per unit for 6 years. The first 2 years are covered by your BAAA dues below.
For example, if you have a 250 unit community, your dues would be: 250 x $4.15 = $1037.50
