Can the PTA membership fee be _mandatory_ for all the families of a school?
How does it work with PTO?

I have zero PTA experience so I can't comment on how they handle membership dues.
PTOs are all different. It's up to each parent group to decide for themselves.
I've been in three PTOs. Two of them had no membership fees. All parents/guardians of enrolled students were automatically members. One PTO charged dues. Any parent could volunteer but only paid members could vote and run for office.

Membership Dues (ie $5) mandatory to join - as Beignet said above (ie $5 to get a vote (as a member) but NO Public school can make it mandatory to Join PTA (a Private Non Profit) -- although I know a school and PTA that seem to be trying IMO
Some do have restrictions on nonmembers (ie No pay $5) - no vote and cant hold an executive board position
Most allow nonmembers to volunteer, hold chair positions, etc
