Broken Arrow Property Tax Overview
Tulsa County Assessor - Property Records for Broken Arrow
Broken Arrow is the largest suburb in Tulsa County, and all of its property tax records flow through the Tulsa County Assessor's office. Assessor Ken Yazel leads the office, which is located at 500 S Denver, Suite 215, Tulsa, OK 74103. Phone number is 918-596-5100. The assessor values every parcel in Broken Arrow annually as of January 1. That value drives the tax bill you receive in the fall.
The assessor's online database at assessor.tulsacounty.org covers all Tulsa County properties, including Broken Arrow. You can search by street address using a simple format like "123 N Main St," by subdivision name, or by owner last name. Account numbers use the format R00000112233333. The site advises keeping searches simple and avoiding special characters like periods, commas, or apostrophes. Search results return the owner of record, legal description, market value, assessed value, and any exemptions on file.
Under Oklahoma Statutes Section 68-2817, all taxable real property is assessed at fair cash value each January 1. Broken Arrow residential properties are taxed at 11% of fair cash value, in line with the state constitutional rate. The assessor determines fair cash value based on what the property would sell for in a willing buyer-seller transaction. Agricultural land, if any, uses the income capitalization approach rather than market value for assessment purposes.

Tax Payments and Billing for Broken Arrow Properties

The treasurer's office no longer mails receipts, so the online portal is the main way to confirm payment.

Late payments accrue a penalty at a rate of 1.5% per month, starting in mid-January. Accounts with years of unpaid taxes may be listed for the county's annual tax resale, and a resale statute change effective November 1, 2025, has updated how the process works in Tulsa County.

Exemptions for Broken Arrow Property Owners
Broken Arrow homeowners can apply for the homestead exemption with the Tulsa County Assessor. The exemption reduces your taxable assessed value by $1,000. To qualify, you must be the record owner and live in the home as your primary residence on January 1. Applications are accepted between January 1 and March 15. You only need to file once, and it stays active as long as you are the owner-occupant.
Annual value increases on homestead and agricultural properties are capped at 3% per year in Oklahoma. Other residential and commercial properties are capped at 5% per year. These caps reset when the property changes owners. Senior residents age 65 and older may qualify for the Senior Valuation Freeze, which locks the taxable value of a home after the application year. Income must fall under the HUD median income limit for Tulsa County. The Oklahoma Tax Commission sets those limits annually. Applications must be filed by March 15.
If you think your Broken Arrow property has been assessed too high, you can request an informal review with the Tulsa County Assessor's staff. If that does not resolve the issue, a formal protest can be filed with the County Board of Equalization within the deadline on your assessment notice. The legal framework for appeals is in Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
