- Professional Members: Any individual ordinarily resident in Barbados who professionally advises on Town Planning questions on land development in Barbados may be elected as a Professional member of the Society with the approval of the Council, by ballot subject to satisfying the minimum requirements for professional experience.

- Graduate Members: Any individual ordinarily resident in Barbados who has obtained an academic qualification acceptable to Council and who has not yet satisfied Council’s requirements for professional experience.
- Associate Members: Any individual who has an interest in the objects of the Society may become a member of the Society with the approval of Council.

- Honorary Member: An individual recognised by the Society to have rendered outstanding services to the aims of the Society and/or to Planning in Barbados.
- A Fellow is an individual recognised by the Society to have made a truly significant contribution to the Society and its aims and objectives. A Fellow must be nominated by other members. The process of becoming a Fellow is managed by the Executive. The grade of Fellow is reserved for Professional Members of the Society.
