Per the IDX Rules & Regulations, all TAR REALTORSŪ interested in displaying the IDX database must sign and complete the IDX Participation Agreement (click the link above to download it). |
|
The Telluride IDX program is only available to REALTORŪ members of TAR, including brokers and broker associates. |

All MLS listings are presumed and implied to be included in the Telluride IDX database. By contributing all of your listings to the Telluride IDX database, you are entitled to utilize the IDX database on your website. You may opt out of contributing your listings to the IDX database, however, you will lose your ability to utilize the IDX database or any other aspect of the Telluride IDX program. To opt out, complete and sign the Opt-Out Form and return it to the TAR office. | |

You must contribute 100% of your listings. An IDX participant may exclude any individual listing from the IDX Database by obtaining a written request from their seller to exclude the listing and present a copy of such to TAR upon request. Please note that TAR will be very firm on this issue. |
|
|
MLS data cannot be modified in any way. | |
|
The listing agent and brokerage MUST be displayed on all listings. No phone number, no link to an email or website, just the agent's name and brokerage. This is FIRM, don't even call and try to ask us to change this. There are serious representational liability issues at stake on this issue | |
|
Your IDX data must be refreshed at least once every seven (7) days. | |
|
Strict attention must be paid to the "Licensed Data Fields" list that details Required, Optional, and Prohibited MLS data fields. | |

The Participation Agreement requires that you register all of your websites where IDX data will be displayed with the TAR office. | |
|
Sanctions for violations of the Participation Agreement are severe. The proper display of MLS data on websites is CRUCIAL. As you all know, we are very concerned with how the MLS data is displayed within our own MLS system, but now we are presenting that MLS data for the entire world to see, so it is very important that it is done correctly. The Participation Agreement goes into great detail on your responsibilities in displaying the MLS data on your IDX website. Our IDX Vendor IDXsearch is also very aware of how the data need be formatted, so by utilizing them, you can save yourself some headache and worry about properly formatting IDX on your website. |
|
|
You may use any IDX Vendor you wish. All IDX vendors MUST complete an IDX vendor agreement with TAR, thereby notifying them of the rules for TAR's IDX. If you are using a new vendor that has not previously completed an agreement with our office, please contact us so we may get the proper agreement to them. This is of UTMOST IMPORTANCE so that your vendor follows the rules for our association's IDX! IDX Vendor Agreement |
