Would You Benefit from a Judicial Appeal?
Appealing your property taxes in court can be beneficial, especially if your property is overvalued. O'Connor handles the entire court appeal process, including covering the costs of legal representation, expert witness reports, and filing fees. With the Property Tax Protection Program™, O'Connor will escalate your case to binding arbitration or court if your property qualifies. You pay nothing unless we reduce your property taxes below the value determined by the Appraisal Review Board (ARB). As a member, your property will be reviewed and appealed every year to the highest appropriate level. The cost is on us. You only pay if we secure tax savings beyond the ARB value.
