A portion of the application fee, to cover administrative costs, may be retained by LIBOR, in the event an applicant should withdraw his/her application for
membership. The Board of Directors may adopt an application fee for Institute Affiliate Membership not in excess of the annual dues for Institute Affiliate Members.

DR notifies the Board in writing of the identity of the Board to which dues have been remitted. However, if two or more REALTORS
®

salespersons employed by or affiliated as independent contractors with such firm, partnership or corporation.
c) Dues for new members joining the Board during the course of the year shall be pro-rated monthly.
d) Dues for Institute Affiliate Members of the local Board may not exceed two and one-half times the amount established pursuant to Article II, Section 1 (a) of

be billed in accordance with Section 2 (b) above.
SECTION 4. NON-PAYMENT OF DUES AND/OR MISCELLANEOUS OBLIGATIONS
If dues, miscellaneous financial obligations or fines due to LIBOR are not paid within thirty (30) days after any billing date, a letter shall be sent on the 31st day,
to the member stating that as of that date he/she is suspended from membership for non-payment of dues and/or miscellaneous financial obligations. The letter
will also state that the member can reinstate his/her membership by the payment of the arrears in full plus a reinstatement fee in accordance with Section 5 of
