Brazoria County Appraisal District’s

Local Appraisal District

O’Connor serves more Texas property owners than any other tax consultant because:

  • O’Connor’s aggressive approach is well aligned with the property owners’ interest. We pay the fees and costs regardless of the level of appeal. Many competitors require the property owner to pay the binding arbitration deposit or costs related to judicial appeal such as legal fees, expert witness fees and court costs. We will not ask you to pay any of the costs or fees related to your property tax protest.
  • O’Connor has spent years developing relationships with Brazoria County CAD staff and well understands the information needed to win your property tax appeal.
