Nation's Largest Property Tax Consultant
Our staff achieves better results than is typical for most firms. We attempt to reduce your property taxes for each property every year, even if the value did not change!

We have the expertise and the manpower to help you lower your property taxes. In 2007, O'Connor & Associates filed more than 100,000 protests, effectively reducing our client's assessed values by $1.8 billion, cutting their taxes by over $55 million. We will aggressively pursue every legal avenue to protest and lower your taxes:

• Informal hearings
• County Board of Equalization hearings
• Judicial appeals

Declining market values are painful. You don't have to pay inflated property taxes!

Expecting the County Assessor to correctly reduce your assessed value is risky. Even if you don't think political pressure impacts the values, the assessor must value hundreds of thousands of properties!

Hire O'Connor & Associates to appeal high property taxes. You pay NOTHING unless we save you money! There are no upfront costs and no flat fees. You can't lose.

January 15, 2009 is the deadline to protest most accounts. If you filed your own protest in Clark County, O'Connor & Associates can still represent you at your hearing.
