Wood County Appraisal District
Local Appraisal District
More property owners choose O’Connor than any other tax consultant in Texas because:
- O’Connor’s assertive strategy is designed to serve property owners’ best interests. We cover all fees and expenses throughout every stage of the appeal process. Unlike many competitors who require clients to pay for arbitration deposits or legal fees during judicial appeals, we handle all associated costs. You won’t pay anything out-of-pocket for your property tax protest.
- Over the years, O’Connor has built strong relationships with Wood CAD staff and gained in-depth knowledge of the specific documentation needed for a successful property tax appeal.
- While connections matter, presenting solid, credible evidence is just as important. Appraisal districts often rely on proprietary tools and databases—with access to over 50 million sales records—to evaluate appeals.
- Our experience allows us to compile and present sales and unequal appraisal data in a format that aligns with the expectations of the Wood County Appraisal Review Board (ARB) and Central Appraisal District (CAD).
