Commercial Property Tax Program

Now there’s an easy way to protest!

Why Choose O’Connor for Commercial Tax Appeals?

With over 50 years of experience and $190 million in tax reductions in 2024 alone, O’Connor delivers unmatched results for commercial property owners nationwide. Our aggressive, data-driven approach is one of the most successful tax reduction programs in the United States.

Commercial Property Tax Protection Program – the most aggressive effort possible to reduce property taxes annually is our focus. Certain appraisal districts are reasonable and we are able to settle all or almost all accounts informally. Other appraisal districts settle few accounts informally. When necessary, we challenge your tax assessment at the appraisal review board hearing. For accounts above $750,000 which have had an appraisal review board hearing, we typically coordinate a judicial appeal.

Lower Your Taxes

No Up-Front or Hidden Fees: You Only Pay if We Lower Your Taxes

Our services are risk-free. You pay absolutely nothing unless we successfully reduce your taxes. You only pay a contingency fee out of your savings.

Comprehensive Informal Appeals & ARB Hearings

The appeal process can be complex, but we will take care of every stage for you, acting as your representative. This starts with administrative appeals, which include informal appeals to your appraisal district and formal hearings with the appraisal review board (ARB).

When we coordinate a judicial appeal, we:

tax filing
pay the filing fee
tax appraisal
Pay the attorney
tax-expert
Hire an expert witness to prepare an unequal appraisal analysis
market-value
Hire an MAI appraiser to prepare a market value appraisal

We bear all the cost and risk of coordinating a judicial appeal; you pay only if we reduce your property taxes.
