Billing calendar & rules

Three billing cycles: association membership invoiced December 1 (due December 31, service cut-off January 1); Spring MLS + key invoiced March 1 (due March 31, cut-off April 1); Fall MLS + key invoiced September 1 (due September 30, cut-off October 1).

Membership and subscription fees are prorated by the month you join; the one-time application, orientation and activation fees are not.

Returning members who let a full billing cycle lapse pay the application fees again.

Good to know

The pricing sheet ABoR currently links is its 2025 breakdown; ABoR bills 2026 Texas REALTORS® and NAR dues at the same $157 / $201 the other Texas boards itemize.

Unlock MLS removed the REALTOR®-membership requirement for MLS access: TREC-licensed brokers and agents in a non-REALTOR® office can subscribe to the MLS alone. Joining ABoR still requires Texas REALTORS® and NAR membership.

ABoR membership FAQ

How much does it cost to join ABoR?

Austin Board of REALTORS® publishes for 2025: $175 per year in local dues plus $358 for Texas REALTORS® and NAR; $571.45 in one-time application, orientation or setup fees; about $575.64 per year for MLS access; about $285.78 per year for the lockbox key service. That works out to roughly $1,965.87 for a first full year as a primary REALTOR® member. Dues are prorated by the month you join. Verified September 18, 2026.

What does a broker or LLC pay to open an office with ABoR?

ABoR lists abor application fee ($200), abor orientation fee ($50), unlock mls application fee (designated realtor®) ($330.46), supra ekey activation fee ($108.25) — $688.71 in one-time fees — on top of the Designated REALTOR®'s own dues and MLS subscription. Every licensee sponsored by that office then joins as an individual member.

Which Texas counties does ABoR cover?

Texas REALTORS® lists Austin Board of REALTORS® as the local association for Travis County.

Can RaiderX-sponsored agents join ABoR?

Yes. Austin Board of REALTORS® is one of the seven Texas boards where RaiderX holds broker membership, so a RaiderX-sponsored agent joins ABoR directly as a REALTOR® member and MLS subscriber under RaiderX's sponsorship. You pay the board's dues and fees yourself — they are separate from RaiderX's flat monthly sponsorship fee — and the board, not RaiderX, handles MLS access, keys and billing.
