Bixby Property Tax Overview
Tulsa County Property Tax System Covers Bixby
Bixby is in Tulsa County, and every property in the city is assessed and taxed through the county system. Tulsa County Assessor Ken Yazel oversees all property appraisals. His office is at 500 S Denver Ave, Tulsa, OK 74103. You can reach the assessor at 918-596-5100. The assessor values every parcel in the county each January 1, setting a fair cash value that forms the basis for the annual tax bill.
The Tulsa County Treasurer handles collections for all properties in the county, including Bixby. That office is reachable through treasurer.tulsacounty.org. While the offices are in Tulsa, Bixby property owners don't need to travel there for routine matters. The county has built strong online tools that handle most common searches and payments without requiring an office visit.
Bixby has experienced significant growth in recent years as new residential developments have expanded south of Tulsa. The assessor's office tracks new construction and updates values for newly built homes in Bixby on a regular cycle. If you recently built or bought a home in Bixby, check the assessor's site to confirm your current assessed value is accurate and reflects your property's actual characteristics.
How to Search Bixby Property Tax Records Online
The Tulsa County Assessor's website is the best starting point for searching Bixby property tax records. You can search by owner name, address, or parcel number. Each result shows the property's assessed value, ownership details, building characteristics, and tax history. The site is free and open to anyone without requiring a login or account.
The statewide OkAssessor.com portal links to assessor tools for all 77 Oklahoma counties, including Tulsa County, and gives you a starting point for any property search in Bixby.
The Tulsa County Assessor site is updated on a regular basis and reflects the current assessment year for all Bixby parcels.
For payment history and current balances, go to treasurer.tulsacounty.org. That site shows what is owed, what has been paid, and whether any delinquency exists. You can also pay online through the Treasurer's portal. The statewide OKTaxRolls database is another tool for looking up Tulsa County data, and OKCountyRecords indexes county property records as well.
Property Tax Payments and Due Dates for Bixby
Oklahoma property taxes are split into two equal installments. The first half is due by December 31 of the tax year. The second half is due by March 31 of the following year. Bixby property owners pay through the Tulsa County Treasurer, either online at treasurer.tulsacounty.org, by mail, or in person at the Tulsa offices.
If the first installment is not paid by December 31, interest begins to accrue. Accounts with prolonged nonpayment can be subject to tax lien sales, which complicate any future sale or title transfer. If you are behind on a Bixby property's taxes, contact the Tulsa County Treasurer as soon as possible to get the full amount owed and explore your options. Addressing a delinquency early is always easier than waiting.
Note: If your Bixby property is financed with a mortgage that includes an escrow account, your lender collects and pays your property taxes for you. You generally won't receive a bill from the county directly.
Exemptions Available to Bixby Homeowners
Bixby residents who own and occupy their home can apply for the Oklahoma homestead exemption through the Tulsa County Assessor. The exemption reduces the assessed value by $1,000, which lowers the taxable base and cuts the annual bill. You must live in the home as your primary residence on January 1 to qualify. The application is filed once and renews automatically each year as long as you stay in the same property.
Bixby homeowners who are 65 or older may qualify for the Property Valuation Freeze if their household income falls below the state threshold. This program locks the assessed value of your home so it can't increase from one year to the next. For seniors on fixed incomes, this provides a meaningful protection against rising property taxes even as the Bixby real estate market grows. Call the Tulsa County Assessor at 918-596-5100 to learn about current eligibility limits and how to apply.
Veterans with service-connected disabilities can also apply for property tax exemptions under Oklahoma law. The benefit amount depends on the disability rating. The Oklahoma Tax Commission sets the rules, and the county assessor processes local applications. If you are a disabled veteran who has not yet applied, contact the assessor's office to find out what you may qualify for.
Note: Apply for the homestead exemption early in the year, as deadlines are typically in February or March for the exemption to apply to the current tax year.
Understanding Bixby Property Assessments
The Tulsa County Assessor values Bixby property each January 1 using fair cash value as the standard. That is the likely price a buyer would pay for the property in a normal open market sale. Oklahoma law caps annual increases in assessed value at 5% for properties that have not recently sold. This cap helps Bixby homeowners keep their tax bills more predictable, even during years when market prices in southern Tulsa County climb sharply.
The taxable assessed value is 11% of the fair cash value. Local millage rates are then applied to arrive at the final bill. Those rates fund the Bixby school district, Tulsa County operations, and other local services. The rates can shift slightly from year to year based on local budget decisions. The legal framework for Oklahoma property tax is found in Title 68 of the Oklahoma statutes.
If you believe your Bixby property has been overvalued, you can request an informal review from the assessor's office. Evidence like recent comparable sales in your neighborhood or an independent appraisal can support your case. If the informal review doesn't resolve the issue, you can formally appeal to the Tulsa County board of equalization. Deadlines apply in the spring, so act quickly after annual notices go out. The assessor's office can give you the current timeline.
Other Ways to Find Bixby Property Data
Beyond the county's own websites, the Oklahoma Assessors Association site links to county assessor tools statewide. The DataCrosspoint portal covers multiple Oklahoma counties and can be useful if you are researching several properties. The OKTaxRolls site covers all 77 counties and lets you search Tulsa County the same way you would any other county in the state. For legal reference, Title 68 on Justia is a free source for Oklahoma tax law.
