Government Affairs

 

Welcome!

Whether it’s Cincinnati City Council, State Representatives and Senators in Columbus, or the U.S. Congress in Washington, DC, your membership in the Cincinnati Area Board of REALTORS® makes you part of one of the most powerful and influential grassroots lobbying efforts in the country.  Volunteer leaders and staff are constantly working with lawmakers and regulators at all levels of government to represent your industry and protect your best interests as a real estate professional.

 

REALTORS® fight and win battles every day that protect your profitability.  The creation, implementation and preservation of the Property Tax Rollback in the city of Cincinnati and successful defeat of several, proposed Real Estate Transfer Tax increases in Hamilton, Butler and Warren counties are two examples.

 

It's not just about protecting your bottom line, however.  REALTORS® lead the way in fighting to protect private property rights, create affordable housing opportunities, encourage smart growth, and promote fair housing.

 

Active engagement in political activity is the right of every citizen, but is a responsibility for every REALTOR®.  Get involved and make a difference today.
