Sanctions & Fines FAQ

How long do I have to correct a violation?2021-06-16T10:23:29-04:00

For automatic first time violations, you could have up to 24 hours to correct before being a fine is imposed.

For a non-automatic fine, you will receive 2 notifications before a fine is imposed.

For an immediate fines there are no warning notification and a fine is immediate. When a violation constitutes a potential violation of state or federal law, or it raises concerns about unauthorized use of, or access to, the MLS database, the board of directors considers these serious enough to warrant immediate and substantially heftier fines, ranging from $500 to $5,000, with no courtesy warning.
