You won’t be required to pay any fees or expenditures associated with your property tax protest.
- Relationships are important, and we put a lot of effort into building them while also concentrating on our clients’ needs.
- You have access to O’Connor’s millions of Texas property tax appeals, which are handled utilizing our proprietary software and comparable sales and unequal assessment data. Typically, the hearing evidence file is between 50 and 100 pages long.
