Love County Property Assessment and Records

The Love County Assessor values all real and personal property in the county as of January 1 each year. Real property is assessed at 11% of fair cash value as required by the Oklahoma Constitution. Personal property is assessed at 13.75%. Agricultural land, which covers a large share of Love County's total acreage, is valued using the income capitalization method based on cash rent data. This generally results in lower taxable values for working farms and ranches compared to what those parcels might sell for on the open market.

The assessor must physically inspect every parcel at least once every four years. Staff note changes in structures, land condition, or use that would affect valuation. Love County is predominantly rural, with farming, ranching, and some recreational land along the Red River near the Texas state line. The assessor handles a range of property types, from small residential lots in Marietta and Thackerville to large agricultural tracts in the rural parts of the county.

Annual value increases are capped at 3% per year for homestead and agricultural property. All other property types are subject to a 5% annual cap. These caps lift when ownership changes hands. Under Oklahoma Statutes Section 68-2817, assessed value must reflect fair cash value as of January 1 each year, regardless of when the parcel was last physically inspected.
