Commercial Property Tax Process

We save our clients collectively $100 million every year! Total client property tax savings exceed $1 billion.

Among the largest property tax consulting firm in the U.S., based on the annual number of appeals, our team saves our clients over $100 million every year in property taxes. Our licensed tax agents and administrative support team help commercial property owners by filing personal property renditions, reviewing tax statements, protesting over-assessed property values and attending informal tax hearings and appraisal review board meetings. O’Connor has become a proven leader in aggressive property tax reduction, pursuing every legal avenue to protest and lower your taxes:

• Informal hearings
• Appraisal review board (ARB) hearings
• Judicial appeals

Our staff achieves better results than is typical for most firms. We attempt to reduce your property taxes for each property every year, even if the value did not change!

O’Connor covers legal fees for judicial appeals

For owners who aren’t satisfied with the appraisal review board’s value opinion, we continue the protest by coordinating a lawsuit against the appraisal district – on a contingency fee basis. We will engage expert witnesses and legal counsel at no cost – unless the value is reduced. We have coordinated more judicial appeals – and achieved more satisfactory rulings and settlements – than any other firm.

Reduce taxes – even if property is assessed below market value

Property owners can appeal assessments based on equality with similar properties. We are the national leader in presenting sophisticated analysis supporting favorably assessed comparable, in addition to market value arguments. With a process for compiling and analyzing data for uniform and equal analysis, value reductions are achieved about 70 percent of the time for commercial properties that we represent in 2020!

Higher percent reductions

Our tax agents achieve a higher percentage reduction than other consultants. They are the national leader in presenting appraisal review boards with sophisticated analyses supporting aggressive values.

No financial risk

With O’Connor, no fees are due unless the property taxes are reduced. Fees are applicable for the protested year only. In fact, our team will continue to protest each year, billing only when savings are achieved.
