Comal Appraisal District
Local Appraisal District
O’Connor serves more Texas property owners than any other tax consultant because:
- O’Connor’s aggressive approach is well aligned with the property owners’ interest. We pay the fees and costs regardless of the level of appeal. Many competitors require the property owner to pay the binding arbitration deposit or costs related to judicial appeal such as legal fees, expert witness fees and court costs. We will not ask you to pay any of the costs or fees related to your property tax protest.
- Relationships matter and we work diligently to both develop relationships while simultaneously focusing on serving our client’s interests.
- You benefit from the millions of Texas property tax appeals completed by O’Connor, using comparable sales data and unequal appraisal data uniquely processed by our proprietary software. The hearing evidence file often totals 50 to 100 pages.
- We have compiled sales and uneven appraisal data in a way that satisfies the requirements of the Comal County ARB and the Comal CAD thanks to our expertise.
