TAPTP 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 and the benefits of membership in the Association are easily recognized.
