Callahan County Appraisal District
Local Appraisal District
O’Connor is the leading company representative for the Callahan Central Appraisal District property owners because:
- We believe O’Connor takes a more assertive approach to reducing property taxes at every level of the appeals process. All available appeal options are utilized, including informal meetings, ARB hearings, binding arbitration, SOAH proceedings, and coordination of judicial appeals.
- Our understanding of what it takes to successfully lower property taxes is strengthened by our regular interactions with appraisal district personnel.
- While strong relationships are important, credible evidence is critical. O’Connor uses proprietary software and databases with over 50 million sales records, designed in part to mirror the appraisal districts’ methods of evaluating evidence.
- O’Connor has the experience and expertise necessary to gather and present appraisal and sales data in compliance with the standards set by the Callahan County Appraisal Review Board (ARB) and Appraisal District (CAD).
