Working For You

As the major voice for Commercial Real Estate in the arenas of local, state and federal government BOMA Greater Cleveland represents our members on legislative issues such as taxes and code & regulatory issues.

At the State level, BOMA Greater Cleveland is one of six BOMA Associations in Ohio that regularly work together to positively impact the State legislative activity. Each year Ohio BOMA, in conjunction with NAIOP of Ohio, hosts an Advocacy Day in Columbus. All of the State Senators and Representatives are invited to attend the associated luncheon. In addition, BOMA members and staff from each local association meet individually with State Senators and Representatives to discuss those issues that may impact the Commercial Real Estate industry. We successfully impacted the Historic Tax Credit legislation as well as the anti-smoking rules.

Federally, BOMA International's professional advocacy staff represents your interest before a wide array of policy setting bodies, including the United States Congress, federal agencies, code development bodies, and standards organizations. BOMA defends you on issues ranging from Capital Gains to electric deregulation to Terrorism Risk Insurance. Position papers are available through the BOMA Center.

Want to see what we are currently working on? View the Issues Matrix.

In the past 10 consecutive years, no new Federal mandates were imposed on BOMA members in either the legislative or regulatory arenas. Through BOMA’s involvement on building code & regulations issues building owners have saved over $900 million and over $1.2 billion in annual tax savings. For example, Capital Gains have been reduced from 20% to 15% through 2010.

Get involved! If you cannot participate in meetings with key legislators then contribute to the BOMA PAC.
