Public Service Resources
IAAO is committed to providing information that allows taxpayers to better understand what the property tax is and how it is used. The association supports property tax systems that are fair and equitable and that accurately reflect each taxpayer's obligation to support public services that are funded in this way.
IAAO also encourages taxpayers to fully understand their role in supporting local services such as school funding, police and fire protection, streets, libraries, and other public benefits, through the property tax.
Two public service brochures are available to support these goals. The files may be downloaded for personal use. Click on the underlined link to be taken to the document.

The brochures can be posted to your Web site and they can be printed for distribution to taxpayers who visit your office. Contact headquarters@iaao.org for more information on this member benefit.
