Are You Appealing?
Despite the opportunity to lower their property tax burden, many property owners continue to face high or unfair assessments without taking action. Each year, owners of commercial properties — large and small — partner with O'Connor to challenge their appraisals and reduce their tax bills. In Texas, there is no minimum account size required to protest, and enrolling early can help maximize your potential savings.
