Yes, 90 to 95% of appeals are successful for property owners who appeal at informal, ARB and judicial appeal.
There are two levels of appeal.
Administrative appeal – Informal hearing and appraisal review board. Depending on county, about 60 to 70% get a reduction.
Judicial appeal – legal appeal. Over 90% generate a lower taxable value. Owners who use both the administrative and judicial appeals have a 95%+ chance reducing their property taxes.
For 99% of owners, the appeal ends with the administrative hearing. O’Connor commercial clients receive the benefit of O’Connor coordinating a judicial appeal at no cost unless we reduce your property taxes. Really. O’Connor pays the attorneys, expert witnesses (2 expert reports for most cases), and filing fees. It’s a no-lose proposition. (O’Connor routinely coordinates judicial appeals for commercial property valued over $750,000 and houses valued over $1,500,000.)
No other property tax consult pays all the costs associated with both levels of appeal. O’Connor commercial clients with values over $750,000 can expect a reduction in assessed value most every year, based on using both levels of appeal.
There are no flat fees or upfront costs with

P.S. Just 2,250 appraisers generate initial 2021 assessed values for over 20 million tax parcels in Texas. Can they possibly be accurate?
