This email is an annual message required by the association bylaws and has two parts. 

The Bylaws of the Space Coast Association of REALTORS®, Inc. require annual certification by the Designated REALTOR® member for all of the individuals licensed with your firm, or any real estate firm you are associated with.  

Please supply a list of all agents in your office, specify the type of membership they hold (i.e. REALTOR®, Secondary, MLS Only, Assistant Access), and their primary association membership on the attached form (Click here for form). An agent's primary membership is determined by the Association where they pay their state and national dues. Please include all agents in any limited function referral companies for which you are the Broker of Record of or have an ownership interest in. For your convenience feel free to use a "similar" form to report these licensees as long as all of the required information is provided. 

Applies to everyone Annual MLS Certification:

The first form is for certification of the agents in an MLS participating office, and in the case of MLS-only members, the agents in the office that holds membership with Space Coast. This form also includes a section for Office Assistants and Agent Assistants.

If you are an office of one, the Annual Certification requirement still applies. Please send in the form certifying your membership.

Applies if you have a Limited Functioning Referral Office (LFRO):

The second form is for all Designated REALTORS that also have a referral office. This form is not required for MLS only members.

The annual certification period is an ideal time to ensure your office address and contact information are accurate and up to date. To verify or update your details, log in to your member profile at www.SpaceCoastMLS.com.

Once logged in, navigate to the Member tab, then select the Personal tab to review and update your address or contact information as needed.

Please respond by September 3, 2025 by e-mail, fax (321-255-7669) or mail.

Bylaws in regards to annual MLS certification:  

Article VI - Privileges and Obligations Section 12. Certification by REALTOR®: "Designated" REALTOR® Members of the Association shall certify to the Association during such month as may be determined by the Board on a form provided by the Association, a complete listing of all individuals licensed or certified in the REALTOR®'s office(s) and shall designate a primary Association for each individual who holds membership. Designated REALTORS® shall also identify any non-member licensees in the REALTOR®'s office(s) and if Designated REALTOR® dues have been paid to another Association based on said non-member licensees, the Designated REALTOR® shall identify the Association to which dues have been remitted. These declarations shall be used for purposes of calculating dues under Article XI, Section 2(a) of the Bylaws. "Designated" REALTOR® Members shall also notify the Board of any additional individual(s) licensed or certified with the firm(s) within thirty (30) days of the date of affiliation or severance of the individual. 

Bylaws in regards to Limited Functioning Referral Offices (LFRO):

Article XI - Dues and Assessments Section 2. Dues. The annual dues of Members shall be as follows: 

A.    REALTOR® Members. The annual dues of each designated REALTOR® member shall be in such amount as established annually by the board of directors, plus an additional amount to be established annually by the board of directors times the number of real estate salespersons and licensed or certified appraisers who (1) are employed by or affiliated as independent contractors, or who are otherwise directly or indirectly licensed with such REALTOR® member, and (2) are not REALTOR® members of any association in the state or a state contiguous thereto or Institute Affiliate members of the association. In calculating the dues payable to the association by a designated REALTOR® member, non-member licensees as defined in (1) and (2) of this paragraph shall not be included in the computation of dues if the designated REALTOR® has paid dues based on said non-member licensees in another association in the state or a state contiguous thereto, provided the designated REALTOR® notifies the association in writing of the identity of the association to which dues have been remitted. In the case of a designated REALTOR® member in a firm, partnership, or corporation whose business activity is substantially all commercial, any assessments for non-member licensees shall be limited to licensees affiliated with the designated REALTOR® (as defined in (1) and (2) of this paragraph) in the office where the designated REALTOR® holds membership, and any other offices of the firm located within the jurisdiction of this association.

(1) For the purpose of this section, a REALTOR® member of a Member Board shall be held to be any member who has a place or places of business within the state or a state contiguous thereto and who, as a principal, partner, corporate officer, or branch office manager of a real estate firm, partnership, or corporation, is actively engaged in the real estate profession as defined in Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®. An individual shall be deemed to be licensed with a REALTOR® if the license of the individual is held by the REALTOR®, or by any broker who is licensed with the REALTOR®, or by any entity in which the REALTOR® has a direct or indirect ownership interest and which is engaged in other aspects of the real estate business (except as provided for in Section 2(a)(1) hereof) provided that such licensee is not otherwise included in the computation of dues payable by the principal, partner, corporate officer, or branch office manager of the entity.

A REALTOR® with direct or indirect ownership interest in an entity engaged exclusively in soliciting and/or referring clients and customers to the REALTOR® for consideration on a substantially exclusive basis shall annually file with the Association on a form approved by the Association a list of the licensees affiliated with that entity and shall certify that all of the licensees affiliated with the entity are solely engaged in referring clients and customers and are not engaged in listing, selling, leasing, renting, managing, counseling, or appraising real property. The individuals disclosed on such form shall not be deemed to be licensed with the REALTOR® filing the form for purposes of this section and shall not be included in calculating the annual dues of the Designated REALTOR®

The exemption for any licensee included on the certification form shall automatically be revoked upon the individual being engaged in real estate licensed activities (listing, selling, leasing, renting, managing, counseling, or appraising real property) other than referrals, and dues for the current fiscal year shall be payable.

Membership dues shall be prorated for any licensee included on a certification form submitted to the association who during the same calendar year applies for REALTOR® membership in the association. However, membership dues shall not be prorated if the licensee held REALTOR® membership during the preceding calendar year.
