American Property Tax Counsel

AMERICAN PROPERTY TAX COUNSEL, INC. (APTC) WAS FOUNDED TO CREATE A NATIONAL NETWORK OF PROPERTY TAX LAW FIRMS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES.

APTC CONDUCTS ONE NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR PER YEAR FOR ITS MEMBERS ON PROPERTY TAX ISSUES, WITH NATIONALLY KNOWN SPEAKERS FROM THE APPRAISAL AND REAL ESTATE INDUSTRIES. APTC'S ANNUAL PROPERTY TAX SEMINAR, WHICH FEATURED SPEAKERS FROM ACROSS THE UNITED STATES WAS HELD ON OCTOBER 20-22, 2021.

APTC'S MEMBERS MEET ON THREE OCCASIONS PER YEAR, WITH ONE MEETING HELD IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR. THE MEETING ENABLES THE MEMBERS TO DISCUSS AND EXCHANGE IDEAS, PROFESSIONAL TECHNIQUES, CHANGES IN THE LAW, AND JUDICIAL DECISIONS IN THEIR JURISDICTIONS. THE EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL EXCHANGE AT THE SEMINARS AND MEETINGS FURTHER THE EXEMPT PURPOSES OF PROMOTING THE PRACTICE OF PROPERTY TAX LAW, ADVANCING THE QUALITY AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH OF LAW FIRMS PRACTICING IN THE PROPERTY TAX AREA, AND ENABLING THESE FIRMS TO BETTER SERVE THEIR CLIENTS BOTH LOCALLY AND NATIONWIDE.

BETWEEN MEETINGS, MEMBERS ROUTINELY EXCHANGE INFORMATION REGARDING CHANGES IN THE LAW AND NEW JUDICIAL DECISIONS IN THEIR JURISDICTIONS. INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS ALSO ROUTINELY CONTACT MEMBERS IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS TO DISCUSS MATTERS THEIR CLIENTS HAVE IN THOSE OTHER JURISDICTIONS. THE ABILITY OF APTC MEMBERS TO TAP THE EXPERTISE OF MEMBERS IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS AND, WHERE APPROPRIATE REFER CLIENT MATTERS TO THESE OTHER MEMBERS, GIVES CLIENTS OF INDIVIDUAL MEMBER FIRMS ACCESS TO EXPERT LEGAL SERVICES NATIONWIDE. SINCE PROPERTY TAX LAW IS A SMALL, HIGHLY SPECIALIZED PRACTICE AREA IN WHICH FEW FIRMS ENGAGE IN ANY GIVEN JURISDICTION, WITHOUT APTC'S NETWORK OF SKILLED, DEPENDABLE LAWYERS, IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR PROPERTY OWNERS OR THEIR LAWYERS IN ONE JURISDICTION TO LOCATE PRACTITIONERS SKILLED IN THIS PRACTICE AREA IN A DIFFERENT PART OF THE COUNTRY.
