Please review the dues schedule below to determine the annual dues for your firm. Applicants who have businesses engaged in more than one segment of the industry are required by FMHA’s By-laws to pay for the highest dues category.
The dues structure for the Filled Communities, Developers and Resident Owned Communities Divisions are based upon an assessment of occupied spaces if the community is larger than the minimum number of spaces listed below. To be a member of FMHA, every community with common ownership must be a separate and distinct member of FMHA. The dues for each membership division are as follows:
Filled Communities (90% or more occupied spaces)*:
Minimum Fee (50 or less occupied) $100 + $2 per occupied space
51+ occupied spaces $7/space
Developers (less than 90% occupied spaces)*:
Minimum Fee (50 or less spaces) $100 + $2 per occupied space
51-199 occupied spaces $5.50/space
200+ occupied spaces $7/space
Resident Owned Communities*:
Minimum Fee (80 or less spaces) $100 + $2 per occupied space
81+ occupied spaces $3.25/space
Subdivision, Condos & Co-ops:
Set Fee (regardless of number of spaces) $350
Finance Firms $500
Insurance Firms
Insurance Company $500
Insurance Agency $300
Manufacturers:
$110 per floor shipped to a Florida retailer (both HUD and FBC homes). Dues are payable by the 8th of the month. (Example: January dues are payable by February 8th.)
Retailers and Brokers:
New Retailer Member – First Year $100
Retailer Annual Renewal $200
New Broker Member (Used MH Sales only) – First Year $100
Broker Annual Renewal $200
Attorney:
Sole Practitioner Firm $500
Multi-Attorney Firm $1,000
Service Firms (includes firms who offer a service to the industry rather than a tangible product):
State or National $500
Local $300
Suppliers:
State or National $500
Community Vendor $100
FMHA has created a new membership category under Community Vendors. A Local Community Vendor provides services or supplies to manufactured housing communities in an area where the business is located; you do not provide your service or supplies statewide or nationally. An example would be a landscaping/lawn care service, cleaning service, air-conditioning repair service, etc. If the business provides services and supplies outside of your local area, they would fall under the Service Firm or Supplier divisions listed above.
*$2.00/per site of the above dues will be deposited in the FMHA Political Action Committee (PAC). That portion of dues will be considered a contribution to the FMHA PAC and is therefore not deductible for federal income tax purposes. However, dues payments may be tax deductible by members as ordinary and necessary business expense subject to restrictions imposed as a result of FMHA lobbying activities. FMHA estimates that the non-deductible portion of your dues, the portion, which is allocable to lobbying activities, will be zero percent (0%). Please consult your tax advisor.
All contributions to the FMHA PAC are voluntary. If you choose not to contribute or to contribute another amount to the FMHA PAC, please contact Kacy at the FMHA office at (850) 907-9111 to discuss payment options.
