Hidalgo County Appraisal District 2021 Utility Property Tax Summary

As part of its appraisal process, the Hidalgo County Appraisal District calculates the taxable value of property owned by private utility companies, such as gas and electricity. As of 2021, utilities constitute just 1.7% of the value of taxable property in Hidalgo County; $949 M out of $56 B. Still, 19% of the utility value in 2021 was protested. A judicial appeal or binding arbitration is usually not an option pursued by utility property owners.

In comparison with homeowners who protest their property, utility companies protest 19% of the value each year. It is not necessary to own a utility to be well represented. Upon enrollment in the Property Tax Protection Program™, O'Connor will conduct a review of the appraisal district's initial value and explore ways to appeal market value and unequal appraisals as part of the process. We don't want you to miss another protest deadline. It's easy to enroll today and you can relax while saving money.
