Murray County taxes can be paid in full or split into two installments. The first half or the full amount is due by December 31. The second half is due by March 31 if you choose the two-payment option. Bills of $25 or less must be paid all at once. If taxes go unpaid past the deadline, a penalty of 1.5% per month starts to accrue. After years of nonpayment, affected properties can be sold at the annual tax resale, which is held the second Monday of June. The county clerk maintains records of any tax liens and related documents.

The Murray County Assessor's office is responsible for valuing all real and personal property in the county. All real property in Oklahoma is assessed at 11% of fair cash value as required by the state constitution. Agricultural land in Murray County, much of which lies in the Arbuckle Mountains area, is often valued using an income approach based on typical cash rent rather than comparable sales prices. This approach tends to produce lower assessed values for farmland and ranch ground.

Murray County Property Assessment Rules

Oklahoma's ad valorem tax system is set out in Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Under Section 68-2817, the assessor must value all real property each year as of January 1 at fair cash value. Fair cash value is the estimated price a property would bring at a voluntary arm's-length sale. The assessor's staff must physically inspect each parcel at least once every four years, noting any changes in condition, additions, or demolitions.

Murray County homestead and agricultural properties benefit from a 3% annual cap on assessed value increases. Other property types are subject to a 5% cap per year. These caps are removed when ownership changes hands. Seniors age 65 or older who meet the HUD median income limit for the county may apply for the Senior Valuation Freeze, which prevents the assessed value from rising after the application year. Applications are due by March 15. The homestead exemption reduces assessed value by $1,000 for qualifying owner-occupied properties, providing a modest reduction in the taxable base each year.

Property owners who disagree with their assessed value can file a protest with the County Board of Equalization. The deadline for that protest is printed on the assessment notice. The board hears both sides and makes a determination. If an owner still disagrees after the board's decision, there is an appeal process through district court. The Oklahoma Tax Commission monitors all county assessors and can answer questions about the state's valuation standards and caps.
