Membership Application Process

An application for membership, along with membership dues payment, must be submitted to the Greensboro Builders Association Board of Directors for approval. Dues remittance represents annual membership investment in the Greensboro Builders Association. With payment, members acknowledge that a portion of their dues investment covers membership in the North Carolina Home Builders Association and the National Association of Home Builders. Members agree to abide by the Constitution, Bylaws and Code of Ethics of all three organizations.

Dues payments to GBA are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. However dues payments may be deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses, subject to an exclusion for lobbying activity. For 2024…$54.78 is projected to be used for lobbying by GBA, NCHBA and NAHB and is not deductible on membership dues of $575 (33% of NCHBA dues and 16% of NAHB dues).

Note: Companies can not join NAHB or NCHBA directly…they must join through a local association such as the Greensboro Builders Association.
