The Board of Directors adopted several mandatory MLS policy changes from N.A.R.  A summary of the changes that will go into effect on March 1^st are included below. The 2022 Policy Change FAQ can help you understand these rules.

The changes to the rules relate to:

• offering brokers a back office data feed (section 11.15)
• display of offers of compensation on consumer facing websites (section 11.16)
• a prohibition of advertising services as free (section 12.10)
• a prohibition on filtering IDX and VOW displays based on the amount of compensation offered, or by the brokerage or agent (section 12.14)

Two additional policy changes; providing a single data feed for MLS Participants and inclusion of contact information for listing attribution on IDX and VOW feeds, were also approved. Implementation on these changes was extended until September 1^st. We are waiting on further clarification from NAR on how they will be implemented.
