Property taxes are paid based on the value of a taxpayer&#8217;s property. The county assessor, a locally-elected officeholder, determines the value of most property in the county for tax purposes. Taxpayers owning tangible personal property in the state of Oklahoma must file a property tax return with each county where property was located on Jan. 1 of each year on or before the following March 15. Personal property then is assessed at an amount between 10 percent and 15 percent of its fair cash value. Real property is also assessed as of Jan. 1. It is valued at its &#8220;use value&#8221; &#8212; fair cash value for the highest and best use for which the property was actually used (or classified for use) during the previous calendar year.<\/p>\n<p>The Ad Valorem Division functions in keeping with the parameters of the property tax system in the State of Oklahoma.\u00a0 &#8220;Ad valorem&#8221; is a Latin term meaning &#8220;as to value&#8221;.\u00a0 Property tax systems are based on market value of real, personal and public service properties.\u00a0 All property in the State of Oklahoma is taxable unless a federal or state law provides an exemption.\u00a0 Public service properties are centrally valued by the Oklahoma Tax Commission.\u00a0 County Assessors in Oklahoma are responsible for establishing values of all taxable property within a county.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oklahoma Tax Commission Ad Valorem Division<\/strong><br \/>\nOklahoma City 405-319-8200<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ok.gov\/tax\/All_Taxes\/Ad_Valorem\/index.html\">https:\/\/www.ok.gov\/tax\/All_Taxes\/Ad_Valorem\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TAX &amp; LICENSE \/ STATE TAX SYSTEM State Income Tax Oklahoma\u2019s individual income tax law is based closely on federal income tax regulations.
