Welcome to the 2027 BAAA Member Budget & Planning Guide!

This guide is designed to assist you in forecasting and strategically allocating your investment in BAAA programs and events for 2027. Please note that event dates, offerings, and pricing are subject to change as the 2027 schedule evolves. For the most up-to-date schedule and event details, please review the official BAAA Calendar.

Use the tabs below to navigate through each budget section. Have questions? Let us know!


Membership

When will we receive our renewal invoice?
As a reminder, renewal dues invoices will be emailed out in November 2026 with a due date of January 1, 2027. Dues received after March 1st will be charged a $50 reinstatement fee. Note:  Florida/BAA/Blue Moon lease users are required to maintain membership in good standing in order to access the lease.
 
Don't forget about the $35 Advance the Industry contribution that will be included in your renewal invoice. This contribution benefits our advocacy efforts at the local, state, and federal levels. Through our government affairs efforts, we have saved our members millions of dollars, and the Advance the Industry fund will help us continue to fight onerous legislation.
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, 2026, your 2027 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 $25 application fee.

**The National Apartment Association began an annual dues increase in 2026 of .09 per unit for 6 years. The BAAA Board of Directors voted to implement a slight dues increase every other year in order to cover this increase beginning in 2028 and continuing on even years.**

For example, if you have a 250 unit community, your dues would be:  250 x $4.15 = $1037.50

2027 Property Management Company Dues are only $130 per company, including the $35 voluntary Advance the Industry contribution. New members will be charged a $25 application fee. This allows everyone at the corporate level for your company to receive BAAA membership benefits!

 

2027 Supplier Renewal Dues are $530 per company, excluding the $35 voluntary Advance the Industry contribution.
New members will be charged a $25 application fee.
