Hidalgo County Appraisal District Employee Summary – 2023

In 2023, the Hidalgo County Appraisal District operated with 96 employees, including just 36 full-time appraisers responsible for reviewing over 360,000 tax parcels—an average of 10,052 parcels per appraiser. Of those, only 15 focused on residential properties and 4 on commercial, leaving limited capacity for thorough property inspections beyond basic photographs.

With such a high volume and limited resources, it's no surprise that property owners in Hidalgo County have successfully appealed their property tax valuations for more than 40 years—dating back to around 1980. At O'Connor, we believe everyone deserves expert support, regardless of property value. That’s why there’s no minimum property value required to speak with a professional tax consultant. When you join the Property Tax Protection Program™, you’ll never pay a fee unless we successfully reduce your property taxes for that year.
