Hidalgo County Appraisal District
Local Appraisal District
More property owners choose O’Connor than any other tax consultant in Texas because:
- We are of the belief that O’Connor is more assertive in the efforts to reduce property taxes at each appeal level. All appeal options are implemented, including informal, ARB hearing, binding arbitration, SOAH, and coordinating judicial appeals.
- Our comprehension of the requirements for reducing property taxes is facilitated by our interactions with the personnel of the appraisal district.
- While relationships are crucial, credible evidence is equally essential. Proprietary software and databases that contain over 50 million sales format evidence are partially based on the appraisal districts’ approach to evaluating evidence.
- O’Connor possesses the requisite experience and expertise to compile appraisal data and sales in order to adhere to the standards established by the Hidalgo County ARB and Hidalgo CAD.
