More property owners choose O’Connor than any other tax consultant in Texas because:
Relationships with appraisal district staff help us to understand what is necessary to reduce your property taxes.
We believe O’Connor is more aggressive in effecting property tax reduction at each level of appeal. All appeal options are utilized including informal, ARB hearing, binding arbitration, SOAH and coordinating judicial appeals.
While relationships are important, so is having credible evidence. Proprietary software and databases with over 50 million sales format evidence partially based on the appraisal districts thinking on evaluating evidence.
O’Connor has the experience and expertise necessary to assemble uneven appraisal data and sales to satisfy the guidelines set by the Hidalgo County ARB and Hidalgo CAD
