BigPic_GoldStarTAPTP brings together property tax professionals who have in common the desire to address matters of mutual concern. A cohesive association is much more able to learn about, define, and articulate issues and positions than one person or company acting alone.

An Association can be no greater than the sum if its individual parts. In order to establish strength as an association, recruiting members with a wide variety of experience is an essential aspect of TAPTP.

In order to ensure the Association runs smoothly and with the greatest benefit to members, TAPTP’s standing committees focus on different aspects of the Association’s business. These committees include: Bylaws, Education, Conference, Ethics, Legislative, TDLR Liaison, Membership, and Board of Directors Nominations.

The Benefits of membership in the Association include:

  • Continuing Education Courses and Pre-Licensing Education approved by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for continuing education credit, credit toward Senior Property Tax Consultant upgrade and for first-time licenses.
  • Annual Conferences bring together members and prominent speakers for a broad range of topics. The format provides for the sharing and discussion of common interests and problems faced by property tax professionals.
  • Legislative Alerts, the latest status of proposed legislation, bills of interest to consultants, and TDLR rules and regulations changes.

TAPTP’s website provides timely information for members and the general public. Regularly visit the website for current reports on TAPTP’s recent or upcoming activities, links to Texas legislature and member web sites (members only content).
