Thank you for choosing O'Connor & Associates!
It will be necessary for you to file your own protest with your local county appraisal district. The protest deadline for most owners is June 1 this year and protests mailed to the county appraisal district must be postmarked no later than that date. Check with your appraisal district or your property value notice for your correct protest deadline.

After you file your own protest, O'Connor & Associates can still represent you at your hearing. If you would like us to handle your appeal, please contact us by phone at 713-290-9700 / Toll Free at 1-877-4TAXCUT (1-877-482-9288), or you can e-mail the account you would like us to represent to proptax@poconnor.com.
