The International Property Tax Institute (IPTI) is pleased to introduce the International Property Tax and Assessment Information Resource Library, hosted on the wiki platform.

The IPTIpedia currently provides a consolidated source of property tax and assessment information for a number of countries around the world as listed in "Countries" column. Initial entries have been completed but we intend to add to and update this list on an ongoing basis.

Information collected for the database includes the following areas:

  • Description of property tax system
  • Key legislative reference
  • Property subject to taxation
  • Property exempt from taxation
  • Assessment value standard
  • Assessment/taxation responsibility
  • Compliance and reporting requirements
  • Appeal procedures and deadlines
  • Incentive and tax relief programs
  • Comments on local practices
  • Links to useful web sites

The compilation of this data was made possible through various resources, including members of IPTI, World Bank Reports, Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, AEC International, Rethink Solutions Inc. and independent research materials.
