Maintaining the Designation

To uphold the integrity and professionalism of the ACCI/LCCI designation, all holders must complete an annual renewal process. This includes submitting a $100 renewal fee and attesting to continued eligibility by July 1st each year. Random audits may be conducted to ensure compliance. Failure to renew or meet the criteria will result in the loss of the designation. Retired members in good standing may continue using LCCI(R) if they maintain their CCI membership. Stay engaged, stay recognized, and continue contributing to the condominium industry.

Annual Renewal Process - Maintaining your ACCI/LCCI Designation

Payment of Renewal Fee

• The annual renewal fee for maintaining the ACCI/LCCI designation is $100.
• The renewal deadline is July 1st of each year.
• Payment must be submitted online through the CCI website or via an approved payment method.
• Upon successful payment, a confirmation receipt will be issued to the member.
• Members should retain a copy of their payment receipt for reference.

Annual Compliance Attestation

• Members must complete an Annual ACCI/LCCI Compliance Attestation Form confirming that they continue to meet the designation criteria.
• The attestation must be submitted online by July 1st along with the renewal fee.
• Members must confirm that they:
  • A member in good standing, CCI membership - Individual, Professional, or Business Partner Member
  • Continue to provide goods and/or services, through employment or volunteer time, to or within the condominium/strata/copropriété industry.
  • Adhere to the CCI Code of Ethics.

Random Audits for Compliance

• CCI National may conduct random audits to verify members’ compliance with ACCI/LCCI designation requirements.
• If selected, members may be required to provide:
  • Proof of employment or business involvement in the condominium industry.
  • Evidence of ongoing professional development, public speaking, or article contributions.
  • Other supporting documents as requested by CCI National.

Consequences of Non-Compliance

• If the renewal fee and attestation form are not submitted by July 1st, the ACCI/LCCI designation will be suspended.
• Members will receive a 120-day grace period to complete the renewal process.

Loss of Designation

• If a member fails to renew within the grace period or does not meet the designation criteria, the LCCI designation will be revoked.
• Per Section 15 of the CCI-N Bylaws, revoked members will be removed from the ACCI/LCCI registry and must cease using the ACCI/LCCI designation.

Retirement and Continued Use of LCCI Designation

• Members who retire in good standing from their professional role or business partnership membership may continue using the ACCI/LCCI designation as ACCI/LCCI(R) if they remain CCI Members.

It is the responsibility of each LCCI holder to ensure timely renewal and compliance with all CCI requirements. Members should maintain records of their professional contributions and engagement in the condominium industry.

The designation as an LCCI is personal to the Member to whom it is granted and is not transferable. 

A Member who was formerly granted the designation of ACCI and continues to hold that designation is deemed to have been granted the designation of LCCI without further application, and may use either of both designations.
