*****. My property taxes went up almost 40% in 5 years. Transferred a title lately or late on a tag. The F’ers don’t miss a tax they don’t like.

Property tax cant go un 40% in 5 years can it?
Isnt there a max increase per year of something like 5%?

At least some of the sidewalks in OKC are paid for by the MAPS tax which was approved by voters.

Still a tax. Sidewalks t nowhere and clogging up traffic. Hell the bicycle guys intheir spandex still ride 3 abreast around Hefner.

Sidewallks are mandated for ADA compliance, same with wheelchair ramps and yes, some lead to nowhere for now.

Apparently your county assessor didn’t get the letter from the Tax and Spend Republican reminding him that he’s required by state law to reassess property valuations annually (yeah, that MFer actually sent that letter back around 2008 because county assessors were doing what was in their constituents’ best interests, not the .gov’s, and it still makes me mad whenever I think about it). Mine have gone up over 100% since I bought my place in 2004. It would probably go up more, but state law also limits the percentage they can increase the valuation each year.

The assessor makes it around every year with no problem. Doesn't take long to do the rural areas because there's not many homes to look at lol. We bought the place in 2005 and the only time it's increased much is in 2015 when I built a shop.

It went from $1405 to $1889 in less than 6 years. Not quite 40 but close

Amended article 10 of the OK constitution says:

Annual increases in a property's assessed value are capped at 3% for residential homestead and agricultural property. All other property has a cap of 5%. Senior homeowners may also qualify for the senior valuation freeze, which prevents home values from increasing.


You should contest this.

Only 4.5% is a good start.

I wasn't implying that it wasn't. Just seeing a lot of people who are thinking that it will eliminate the entire sales tax.

Things like school bond elections and municipal bond elections can raise your taxes even if the valuation only goes up 3% or less.
