Clearer property value notices for owners
Beginning Nov 1, 2025, if your property’s value goes up, the assessor must mail a detailed notice. For real estate, it must show this year’s fair cash value, taxable fair cash values for this year and last, assessed values for both years, and assessment percentages for both years. If it is your homestead, the notice includes how to apply for the constitutional limit on fair cash value. For personal property, it must describe the item and list this year’s fair cash value, this year’s assessment percentage, any penalty under Section 2836(C), and this year’s assessed value. The notice must show the mailing date, and the assessor keeps a duplicate as proof it was sent.
Some exempt owners may not get notices
Beginning Nov 1, 2025, a county assessor may stop mailing valuation notices to owners exempt under state constitutional Sections 8E or 8F when mailing them is an undue burden. Exempt owners in those cases may not receive a mailed notice.
Easier steps to protest your assessment
Beginning Nov 1, 2025, you have 30 calendar days from the mailing date to protest an increase in value. You may also protest an unchanged or lower value by the first Monday in April. You must file the Oklahoma Tax Commission protest form and the Section 2835 form; if you skip the Section 2835 form, the assessor’s value is presumed correct on appeal. The assessor must hold an informal hearing (in person or by phone), offer two more dates if you cannot attend, and send a written decision within 7 days. You can appeal to the county board within 15 days after the decision is mailed. The assessor may correct clerical or admitted errors at any time.
