Why Give to SPPACE?:

Local governments and the General Assembly are constantly considering policies and issues that could dramatically impact (positively or negatively) the real estate industry. For example, the following issues have been under consideration:
  • Smart Growth
  • Tree Ordinances
  • Signage Restrictions
  • Storm Water/Erosion Control Issues
  • Impact Fees
  • Transfer Taxes
  • Urban Growth Boundaries
  • Zoning Ordinance Changes
  • Uniform Development Ordinances
  • Moratoriums
  • APFO's
  • Housing Costs / Benefit Study
  • Subdivision Ordinance Changes
These are only a few of the many issues REBIC monitors and addresses for the Real Estate and Building Industry throughout the year. SPPACE helps to ensure that the views of our industry are heard.

In addition, when the NC General Assembly is in session, Mary Thomsen, REBIC's Executive Director and Director of State Government Relations, is in Raleigh representing REBIC with the legislature.
