The National Council of Property Taxation
(NCPT) is committed to defending the property tax representative's ability
to engage in his/her chosen profession and a taxpayer's ability to choose
representation. Legislation, rules, regulations and litigation effect property
tax professionals nationwide and, although each state regulates within its
boundaries, rules governing assessment of property taxes often become replicated
between governing bodies.
In some states, without organized industry
input, issues concerning unauthorized practice of law have resulted in corporate
tax managers losing the right to represent their employer and others, the
right to represent clients. NPCT offers a strong, unified voice in defense
against litigation and proposed legislation designed to limit property tax
representation and a taxpayer's right to choose.
Along with legal and legislative support,
membership in the Council includes:
· A nationwide information resource
through NCPT website
· Ability to expand your business to new areas through networking with
others who possess regional expertise
· Teams of professionals who monitor and share current and pending
issues, procedural changes and proposed legislation imperative to your practice
Cost of membership is a small price to
pay to help insure continuation of the property tax profession and freedom
to choose representation. Success is incumbent upon an active defense to detrimental
litigation and a cohesive effort to insure proposed legislation protects freedom
of representation.
