The Property Tax Certification Program seeks to improve knowledge in the fields of appraising, mapping, and management. In addition, the program seeks to increase professionalism in state and county property tax offices and to maintain high standards in property tax administration.

These objectives will be fulfilled through four curricula leading to the designation of Alabama Certified Appraiser of Real Property, Alabama Certified Appraiser of Personal Property, Alabama Certified Tax Administrator, and Alabama Certified Mapper.

The Support Staff Development Program provides two levels of recognition for support staff members who have met education and experience requirements.
