Young County Appraisal District

Local Appraisal District

Property owners select O’Connor to represent them in property tax protests more often than any other firm because:

  • O’Connor’s aggressive approach is perfectly aligned with the interests of property owners. We cover all fees and costs at every level of the appeal process—something many competitors don’t. Unlike others who require property owners to pay for binding arbitration deposits, court costs, attorney fees, or expert witness expenses, O’Connor never asks you to shoulder these costs. Your protest is our responsibility from start to finish.
  • With years of experience working with the Young Central Appraisal District (CAD), O’Connor has built strong relationships with its staff and has an in-depth understanding of the processes and documentation needed to achieve successful outcomes. We know exactly how to navigate the system and present your case effectively.
  • While relationships matter, compelling evidence is just as important. Our proprietary software and database of over 50 million sales give us a significant advantage. We format our evidence to align with how appraisal districts evaluate data, increasing the chances of a favorable decision.
  • O’Connor has the expertise and insight to compile unequal appraisal data and sales comps that meet the specific standards set by the Young County Appraisal Review Board (ARB) and CAD, helping ensure the strongest possible case for your property tax appeal.
