TREPAC for Commercial Members
There’s a long-held misconception that TREPAC, the Texas REALTORS® Political Action Committee, only benefits residential REALTORS®. Nothing could be further from the truth.
How TREPAC has served commercial interests
- Created an exemption from ad-valorem taxation on your vehicle
- Passed legislation enabling commercial brokers and appraisers to secure a commission with a lien against a property
- Stopped real estate transfer taxes
- Defeated efforts to mandate the disclosure of sales price
- Prevented statewide downzoning
- Averted lowering the appraisal cap on homesteads, which would increase the tax burden on commercial properties.
