6 steps PTA/PTSA Compliance

Ensuring your local unit is in “good standing.”

1. Register your PTA/PTSA officers with Florida PTA here
2. Complete and submit your audit IMMEDIATELY (due August 31st) using the FLPTA Audit form and DCCPTA Audit form, if you have not done so.  Submit a copy of each to treasurer@dccpta.org and audit@floridapta.org, as well as your school’s bookkeeper  
3. Ensure you file your applicable IRS form 990 by November 15th to the IRS and FLPTA by November 30th – See instructions here .  Send a copy of the ACCEPTED return to treasurer@dccpta.org and 990@floridapta.org
4. Operate your PTA/PTSA under current bylaws (expired if dated before 3 years prior to today).  To update your bylaws, use this updated  Local Units Bylaws form
5. Pay your annual DCCPTA dues ($50.00) exclusively in MemberHub no later than November 1st.
