Harris Central Appraisal District
Local Appraisal District
O’Connor is selected as the property tax consultant more often than any other company in Texas 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 Harris Central Appraisal District (CAD) staff and understands the information needed to win your property tax appeal.
- O’Connor has excellent experience in Texas property tax protests and utilizes relevant data tailored to the appraisal district’s understanding of adjusting sales.
- O’Connor has the experience and expertise necessary to assemble uneven appraisal data and sales to satisfy the guidelines set by the Harris County Appraisal Review Board (ARB) and Harris County Appraisal District.
