Our Coordinated Approach Benefits You
When O’Connor’s team represents your property for appeal, we oversee all the details. Our research team employs our distinctive database to obtain the most dependable sales and unequal appraisal data in order to substantiate a value reduction on your behalf. Furthermore, our tax agents, who are licensed, work in conjunction with appraisers and attorneys. We make every effort to reduce your taxes by taking the following steps:
- Mediate with the Grundy County Assessor
- Grundy County Board of Review (BOR)
- The Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board (PTAB)
Cut My Taxes Will help you Save Money
O’Connor Property Tax Consultants help their clients save money by using two appeal strategies:
Strategy #1 – The assessors’ elevated market value estimates will be protested by the property tax consultant. Protest that the assessor’s value estimate far exceeds the most current market value. Approximately 50% of the properties, particularly residences, are overestimated by the assessor in the majority of townships. The assessors aim to achieve a total of 100% of the market value.
Strategy #2 – The unequal valuation of dwellings will be protested by the property tax consultant. An unequal appraisal protest is predicated on the Grundy County Assessor’s determination that similar residences are assessed at a reduced value. Experience has demonstrated that the overwhelming majority of properties in Grundy County can be documented as unequal appraisals.
Many property owners will believe that the assessor’s value is accurate or is either too high or low, and that there is no advantage to protesting their property taxes. However, this is not the case. Over 95% of annual revaluation appeals are expected to be successful.
