Property taxes are one of the major costs of running a business or of real estate investments...

O'Connor & Associates is an established statewide leader in uniform and equal property tax relief. We have the expertise and manpower to help you lower your taxes by helping analyze your property's appropriate value using one or more of the accepted approaches to establishing value. We use a proven system to maneuver smoothly through all steps in the Texas tax appeal process, achieving tax cuts through administrative appeals - informal hearings or Appraisal Review Board (ARB) hearings.

When appeal beyond ARB is indicated, we're the only Texas firm with sufficient technical support and skilled personnel to effectively tackle and win a substantial number of judicial appeals. Currently we are handling 1,000 court cases.

O'Connor's staff and licensed property tax consultants can assist you in a number of ways:
  • Filing a protest and presenting administrative appeals on your behalf
  • Coordinating judicial appeals (on a contingency basis) when needed
  • Protesting Business Personal Property
  • Providing compliance reviews or property tax audits





A Landmark Texas Supreme Court Ruling...

The Texas Supreme Court recently took a stand that could strengthen your position to attain lower property taxes. The Court declined to hear the Harris County Appraisal District's appeal of a lower court decision in favor of the uniform and equal approach to assessing property values.

Now that you are allowed to judicially appeal inequitable assessments, Texas taxpayers can expect a stronger voice. Since this landmark ruling will likely impact the number of judicial appeals, appraisal districts are expected to be more inclined to give credibility to unequal appraisal at all levels.

O'Connor & Associates operates the only volume judicial appeal practice in Texas. We're the only Texas firm with sufficient technical support and skilled personnel to effectively tackle and win a substantial number of judicial appeals. You pay us only if we reduce your taxes!
