St Barth International Property Owners Association
(SBIPOA)

Founded in 2007, this organization seeks to provide a forum for communication among owners of property on St Barth who live abroad. Members of SBIPOA also strive to give back to the island by raising funds to purchase medical equipment (St. Barthelemy Medical Equipment Foundation and FEMUR) , and supporting the development of similarly beneficial infrastructure on the island.

The organization meets 4 times a year in St Barth, the third Thursday of January, February and March, and the second Thursday of April. Questions for SBIPOA and/or requests to join the organization can be sent to SBPIOA@sbhonline.com.

St Barth's Property and Villa owners can participate in a private online forum, The St Barths Villa Owners Corner, on SBHOnline.com. To participate in this forum you must first register as a property or homeowner on the island.
