Capital City Apartment Association

What Capital City Apartment Association does

Capital City Apartment Association (CCAA) is a Tallahassee, Florida-based nonprofit trade association serving the multifamily rental housing industry across the Tallahassee area and surrounding North Florida counties. Its members comprise apartment owners, operators, developers, and managers of communities ranging from five to 500+ units, as well as supplier partners and professional service firms serving the industry. The association's core products are two company-based membership tiers (Apartment Community Membership priced at $150 flat + $2.60 per unit, and Supplier Partner Membership at $350 flat), both of which automatically include membership in the National Apartment Association (NAA) and Florida Apartment Association (FAA). CCAA generates secondary revenue from certification and training programs (CAM 40-hour program, CPO certification, EPA HVAC training, landlord-tenant bootcamps), event registrations (networking mixers, maintenance breakfasts, speed networking), and pass-through contributions to NAAPAC and APAC political action committees.

The association's underlying technology is the Novi AMS platform, used for member management, event registration, directory listings, and association operations. Member-facing services include the Member Compass portal, the Florida Lease (formerly Blue Moon) attorney-vetted standardized lease via NAA Click & Lease, an emergency preparedness resource hub, and member directories for apartment communities, suppliers, and management companies. The go-to-market motion is event-driven: the organization reaches and acquires members through certification courses, networking mixers, legislative conferences, committee and council engagement, and referral through the member directory and NAA/FAA affiliations. Marketing channels center on the ccaafl.org website, the ccaatally Facebook page, email communications, and participation in NAA Apartmentalize, NAA Advocate, and FAA Inspire conferences. CCAA is governed by a member-elected Board of Directors and staffed by 1–10 employees operating from a single Tallahassee headquarters at 400 Capital Circle SE, Suite 18.

Direct peers

• Jacksonville Apartment Association: Local apartment trade association in Jacksonville, Florida. Another NAA/FAA-affiliated local chapter with the same membership, education, certification, and advocacy product set as CCAA, serving the Jacksonville-area multifamily market.
• Apartment Association of Greater Dallas: Local apartment trade association serving the Dallas-Fort Worth metro. A direct peer in structure — NAA-affiliated local chapter offering education, certifications, supplier partnerships, advocacy, and networking — making it functionally equivalent to CCAA but in a larger Texas market.
• Greater Orlando Apartment Association (GOAA): Local apartment association serving the Orlando metro. Like CCAA, GOAA is an NAA/FAA-affiliated trade association offering education, certification, networking, and advocacy to multifamily operators and suppliers in its Florida market — making it a near-identical peer in product, customer base, and delivery model.
• Bay Area Apartment Association (BBAA): Local Florida apartment association covering the Tampa Bay area. BBAA is the most direct peer to CCAA — both are local NAA/FAA-affiliated multifamily trade associations running parallel certification programs (CPO, CAM, EPA), events, and advocacy for their respective metros.

Others

• Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International: International trade association for commercial real estate building owners and managers. BOMA is comparable as a real-estate-focused trade association offering education, advocacy, and credentials (RPA, FMA) but addresses the commercial rather than multifamily residential segment CCAA serves.

Emerging players

• National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM): U.S. trade association for single-family and small residential property managers. NARPM is comparable as a membership-based organization providing education, certification (RMP), and peer networking to residential rental operators — overlapping with CCAA's member base on the smaller-operator segment.
• Community Associations Institute (CAI): International membership organization for community association managers, homeowner leaders, and business partners serving HOAs, condominiums, and co-ops. CAI is comparable as a residential-association trade association offering education, credentials, and advocacy, though focused on HOA/condo governance rather than rental apartments.

Broad incumbents

• National Apartment Association (NAA): U.S. national trade association for the rental housing industry. NAA is the upstream national affiliate of CCAA and provides federal advocacy, the Apartmentalize conference, NAA Click & Lease, and the CAM/CPO credentialing framework — making it the closest comparable in terms of mission and member benefits, though operating at a national scale.
• Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM): National association for real estate management professionals, offering the CPM, ARM, and AMO credentials. IREM is comparable because it serves the same property manager persona as CCAA's CAM program but at a national scale and with broader commercial real estate scope.
• Florida Apartment Association (FAA): State-level apartment industry trade association in Florida. FAA is the direct state affiliate of CCAA, providing legislative advocacy, the Inspire annual conference, statewide training, and the APAC political action committee. It is the closest peer by membership model and product mix, simply at state rather than local scale.
