State grocery tax voted out

[SoonerP226]

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.

I helped my dad make improvements while my parents owned the place, so I didn’t really need to do much other than maintenance. Didn’t stop the assessor from jacking my assessment, which is now more than double what it was when I bought the place.

You’ve probably got a letter a looked at your sewer bill for Warr Acres. I have a house there that my Ex lives in that I help with the bills. They F’d up big time.

They raised the monthly sewer rate quite a bit a few months ago but they hadn't raised them in ten years so it was due. Warr Acres partners with Bethany for our sewage plant and it needed some major upgrades.

With all the businesses fleeing New York, Oklahoma is in a position to build a stronger tax base. Eliminating the grocery taxes and state income taxes would go a long way to attract new businesses to the state.

Wow, someone here that gets it!
FFS.
The idiocy now days is ridiculous.

I don't know much about the details of this "tax cut," however -
Could the store place those cooked items in a cooler by the cash registers (I'm looking at you, rotisserie chicken and chicken nuggets) and just like that "Oh no, it isn't cooked food. It has to be re-heated, you see." So voila it's magically eligible for purchase with SNAP after all...)

My ex girlfriend is on food stamps. She can’t buy the hot chicken. They have it cold which is eligible. Don’t know never had food stamps and I’m sure her worthless butt doesn’t care about sales tax. Free money to her and still gripes.

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.

Live in Cleveland County and I checked a few years ago . We make too much money to freeze our taxes!!! I think if you are a senior, taxes s/be half or none. We have paid our fair share of taxes over a lifetime.
I heard that you have to file yearly for the freeze, not sure if true.... My

I’d be okay with them (all of them) not taxing anything retirement related.

Woohoooooooo. That means I'll ALMOST be able to afford to buy gas for my truck this week. Gotta love it when the Elites give handouts to the Poors.

razor blades, shaving cream and toothpaste and sales tax took it to $95

******* horseshit

They're already coming here to grow weed. The old Dollar General here in Luther that's next to Sonic sat unoccupied and for sale for quite a while. Someone bought it and immediately had well over $100K worth of HVAC installed. The vehicles in their parking lot had New York tags.
