Why Use O’Connor
We Understand the law
Most State laws excluded intangible assets such as the value of your hotel flag franchise from ad valorem taxation. In addition, hotel FF&E is NOT taxable when value is based on the income approach.
Extensive Resources
O’Connor & Associates is not only one of the largest property tax consulting firms, but is also one of the largest commercial appraisal firms. The combination of hundreds of analysts and a team of appraisers produce the most extensive research and equip our consultants with the most comprehensive evidence for tax appeal hearings. Few consultants can compete with O’Connor’s superior advantage.
Personalized Service
Clients can communicate directly with our consultant or account executive for all your needs without going through an operator.
Aggressive Appeals
While many consultants tend to settle easily, due in part to lack of knowledge in hotel valuation, O’Connor consultants aggressively pursue lower values through multiple rounds of appeals if supported by solid evidence.
Customized Hotel Appraisal
To support a judicial appeal, as well as some administrative appeals, O’Connor will order an independent MAI appraisal report customized for hotels which separates real property value from intangible assets and FF&E at no cost to our clients.
Contingency Fees
In the event we recommend judicial or State Board appeals on your behalf, we pay for all filing fees, legal fees, appraisal fees, expert witness fees, etc. Our contingency fees are very competitive; among the lowest in the industry. You pay NOTHING unless we save you MONEY!

Here’s How OUR Process Works
First we seek to understand the client’s needs and magnitude of tax pain and review properties available for cost segregation.
O’Connor works closely with you and/or your CPA or financial/tax manager to collect existing data and documents regarding the subject property.
An appraiser inspects the property to identify eligible items, then calculates their value and allocates each to its correct depreciation life, per IRS rules and Federal Tax Courts decisions.
At times of Uncertainty and High Tax, O’Connor brings you Hope! We can do the same for yours.
Client Testimonials
The valuation of lodging facilities is a highly specialized art and is one of the most challenging tasks for appraisal districts as well as for property tax consultants. O’Connor’s hotel specialists have derived a proprietary methodology to measure Intangible Business Enterprises Value for each hotel flag. It also effectively brings the value of newly completed hotels significantly lower while other consultants failed.
