About the Association
The Texas Association of Appraisal Districts, Inc. is a statewide, voluntary non-profit organization incorporated and organized to promote the effective and efficient functioning and administration of appraisal districts in Texas.
In 2012, more than 90 percent of the state’s 254 appraisal districts belong to TAAD, as well as numerous tax officials from school districts, cities, counties, state agencies and other entities, and other property tax professionals.
TAAD’s members govern the association through a yearly Delegate Assembly, which serves as the vehicle for adopting bylaws, policies, beliefs and resolutions. Twenty trustees, one for each of TAAD’s regions, represent the member districts before the Executive Committee. This committee is made up of a president, president-elect, vice president, secretary-treasurer and past president. With the help of various volunteer committees and TAAD’s staff members, this group implements the programs and services TAAD provides to its members.

About the Association
Texas Association of Assessing Officers (TAAO) unites the state’s leading Ad Valorem Tax Professionals. It is their purpose to set the standards of professionalism in our industry through ongoing education, and to enlighten it’s members, government officials and the taxpaying public regarding fair and equitable tax administration.
TAAO was organized as a professional trade association in 1939 by a group of city tax assessors who were dedicated to the advancement of property tax administration in Texas. The association was organized for the purpose of improving the standards of assessment practice and providing education for its members. They organized because of the changing times and the realization that individuals could not keep pace unless they organized. They were faced with many problems and operated solely as an affiliate of the Texas Municipal League (TML). The assessors’ meetings were held during the TML conferences and never exceeded more than part of a day. Today the TAAO conference covers a five day period.
TAAO’s mission statement, as adopted by their board of directors, is to provide leadership in property valuation, administration, and tax policy in the State of Texas, and through education, increase and improve the knowledge and professionalism of ad valorem tax practitioners.
