Would You Benefit from a Judicial Appeal?
Depending on property value, you may benefit from continuing your property tax appeal to the judicial appeal level. O'Connor coordinates judicial appeals including providing and paying for legal counsel, expert witness reports, and filing fees. You pay nothing unless your property taxes are reduced below the appraisal review board level in a judicial appeal. Enroll in the Property Tax Protection Program™ and O'Connor will appeal your account to the highest level practical annually. Part of the Property Tax Protection Program™ is O'Connor will coordinate the binding arbitration or judicial appeal for property that meet minimal criteria. It is done at our expense, including binding arbitration fees. You pay nothing unless your taxes are reduced below the ARB level. Should you be including a judicial appeal in your annual property tax appeal program?
