For REALTORS®, the Fair Housing Act is one of our nation's most significant laws guiding real estate industry today. Usually we recognize it with Fair Housing Month, celebrated in April each year. 2018 is different, though, as we commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of this major milestone in our nation's efforts to bring greater equal opportunities in the right to private property and housing.

CAAR is in Opposition to Proposed Albemarle County Rain Tax
CAAR believes in caring for our natural resources and fair sharing the costs of our great community. Albemarle County’s proposed rain tax does reflect these values.
If passed, this unfair new tax will mean that Albemarle residents will pay over $1.2 million dollars a year to cover enforcement and collection of the rain tax. CAAR wants citizens to know the rain tax is not a done deal.
Email your Supervisor today and tell them to vote No on the rain tax.
