FMLS Billing
FMLS Billing – Quick Reference Guide
Why FMLS Charges You
FMLS bills based on your side of the transaction, not whether you entered the listing into FMLS.
You will be charged if:
- You take a listing in an FMLS compulsory county
- The property closes
- Your brokerage is an FMLS member (Dalton Wade is)
- A Commission Disbursement Authorization is submitted through FMLS
Entering the listing only in GAMLS does NOT exempt you from the FMLS fee.
How FMLS Billing Works
- FMLS uses a compensation-based model.
- If the property is in an FMLS coverage county, the listing fee applies.
- FMLS assumes you benefit from MLS cooperation (comps, exposure, buyer agent access), even if you didn’t upload the listing.

Formula for Any Sale: Sale Price × 0.0012 = FMLS Fee
**This amount MUST be on your CDA so Dalton Wade can deduct this fee from your commission**
