Where Do My Dues Dollars Go?
Where do my dues dollars go? And what am I getting for what I pay? These questions are most often asked by current,
new and future members. Just a reminder that the services provided, either directly or indirectly, are of higher value
than the actual amount of the total dues. Let’s take a look at the Building Industry Association (BIA) of Stark County
dues and what services are provided.
The total dues that the BIA of Stark County currently invoices Builder members are $575 (includes dinner meetings for
one). Associate member dues are $475. It is important to know and remember that the amounts are split between
three different associations - BIA of Stark County, Ohio Home Builders Association, and National Association of Home
Builders.

National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)
Ohio Home Builders Association (OHBA)
Let’s first take a look at the $166 that is sent to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The BIA of Stark
County is affiliated with NAHB. When you join our local Association, you also join NAHB. That membership entitles you
to everything from discounts on car rentals, hotels, and office supplies to mobile phones, shipping, computers and other
services. Your NAHB dues also support the University of Housing, which provides training and certification programs
through our local association. One of the most significant services your dues support at the national level is representation on behalf of members at the nation’s Capitol. Promoting legislation that is favorable to homebuilders is something
that must be done. No member can afford to do it alone at the national level.
Second is the $90 that we forward to the Ohio Home Builders Association on your behalf. At the state level, your dues
support representation in the legislature, as well as various offices within state government. The BIA of Stark County is
continually monitoring proposed laws and regulations that will affect your business. From building codes to land use, to
environmental and energy codes, taxes, property rights and job site safety; you won’t find anyone willing to monitor all
proposed regulatory and legislative changes for the great rate of $90 per year.
Third is the dollar amount that stays here locally at the BIA of Stark County. A professional staff is retained to implement Association policies and to carry out the work of the Association, major elements of which are governmental affairs
and community relations, education and training, communications, meetings and programs, and administration of BIA
business affairs. More importantly, our popular consumer shows, the Parade of Homes, the Stark County Home and
Garden Show, and the Spring & Fall Circuits of New Homes, are all conducted to help your business increase leads and
sales.
Together, these three Associations (local, state and national) form one of the nation’s largest and strongest trade
organizations that benefit an industry of such fundamental importance.
Our Associations comprise the only organization working around the clock exclusively in the interest of the
residential building industry.
