Business personal property owners in Oklahoma County must file Form 901 with the assessor between January 1 and March 15. This form reports business equipment and other taxable personal property. Late filing can result in a penalty added to the assessment. If you own a business in Oklahoma City, Edmond, or Midwest City, check with the assessor's office about Form 901 requirements. The state's property tax laws are covered in Oklahoma Title 68.

Assessment Appeals in Oklahoma County

If you disagree with your assessed value, you can request an informal hearing with the assessor's office. If that does not resolve it, you file a formal appeal with the County Board of Equalization within 15 days of receiving your assessment notice. The board is independent from the assessor and reviews your case with fresh eyes. Bring any evidence you have: a recent appraisal, comparable sales, or records showing errors in the property description.

Oklahoma law under Section 68-2817 sets the rules for delinquency and penalty. Taxes that are not paid become delinquent on January 1 of the following year. After that date, interest accrues at 1.5% per month. Properties can eventually go to tax resale if the balance is not resolved. Oklahoma County holds its resale each year in June. The statewide resource at tax.ok.gov has more on the appeal and delinquency process.

Homestead exemptions reduce the assessed value by $1,000 for primary residences. Veterans with 100% service-related disability may qualify for a full exemption.

The assessor's office at 405-713-1200 can answer questions about which exemptions apply to your situation.
