Is Someone Representing Your Interests?

Each year, utility companies protest 99% of their property values compared to just 39% of homeowners. Utility companies understand that property tax valuations are negotiable and routinely exercise their right to appeal. While nearly every utility property is protested each year, many homeowners mistakenly assume their appraisal is final, leaving potential tax savings on the table. You don’t need to own a utility to be represented by a top property tax specialist. Join O'Connor’s Property Tax Protection Program™ and we’ll review your initial CAD value, compare it to similar properties, and guide you through your protest options.
