Homestead Exemption Deadline MARCH 15
Save on Property Taxes
“File Your Homestead Exemption Application BEFORE MARCH 15th to save on your property taxes. You can also file online to protect your property from fraud as well through the Oklahoma County Clerk’s Office. THESE SERVICES ARE OFFERED AT NO CHARGE TO OKLAHOMA COUNTY
RESIDENTS,” Oklahoma County Assessor Larry Stein said.
You can file your HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION by mail or you can file electronically online on the internationally recognized assessor website www.oklahomacounty.org/assessor .
The DEED ALERT can be filed through the Clerk’s Office at property.alert@oklahomacounty.org . “Some companies may offer filing the HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION and add a fee or service cost
for ‘preparing and filing’ the document. There IS NO COST for filing the Homestead Exemption with Oklahoma County.
Recently 190 applications were rejected by my office because a title company filed documents for Homestead Exemption which violated the state statutes regarding Oklahoma Tax Commission Approved Documents. Do NOT PAY for HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION FILING, it is free, and our office staff will help,” Stein said.
Seniors Earning less than $89,500 Eligible for Assessment Freeze
“If you are 65 years of age and older and earn less than $89,500 you may be eligible for an assessment freeze on the value of your home right now. Homeowners who qualify have saved more than $20 million in lower property taxes with the Assessment Freeze---NOT A PROPERTY TAX FREEZE,” Stein said.
“Here is a list of all property tax saving options available. If you have a question, please contact our friendly staff by phone at (405)713-1236. When you call, you will be talking with a real person who will be able to answer any questions you may have,” Stein said.
Homestead Exemption lowers your property tax bill on your home and can provide a property tax savings of
$87 to $141 in Oklahoma County by exempting the first $1,000 of assessed value from taxation on your residential property and LIMITS ASSESSMENT INCREASES –NOT PROPERTY TAXES—to a maximum of 3 percent per year. For the property tax savings to be in effect for 2025, you must live in the house on January 1 and file by March 15, 2025 online at www.oklahomacounty.org/assessor, by mail or in person with the Oklahoma County Assessor's Office, 320 Robert S. Kerr, Room 315.
Senior citizens (65 and Older) earning $89,500 or less are eligible for the Senior Valuation Freeze which can reduce your property tax bill. This will freeze the taxable value of the property. For the property tax savings to be in effect for 2025, you must file by March 15, 2025 by mail or in person with the Oklahoma County Assessor's Office, 320 Robert S. Kerr, Room. 315. If you are currently benefiting from the SENIOR VALUATION FREEZE on your homesteaded property there is no need to reapply.
An additional homestead will deduct another $1,000 from the assessed value of your home. This exemption will save you an additional $87 to $141 in taxes. Regardless of age, if the annual gross household income from all sources, received by all persons occupying the same household is $30,000 OR LESS you qualify for the additional exemption. Fill out both parts of the short application form and file it by mail or in person with the County Assessor by March 15th of the year in which the exemption will begin. You must file it annually with the County Assessor by March 15th as long as your income is $30,000 OR LESS until you reach the age of 65.
American military veterans who are 100% service-connected disabled may be eligible for a total exemption from any property taxes on their homestead property. This exemption also allows the un-remarried surviving spouse to continue enjoying the property tax break for as long as he or she owns the property. If you are a qualified 100% service-connected disabled military veteran or have a family member or friend who might qualify, please have them call the Oklahoma County Assessor’s Office at (405) 713-1236 or the USDVA at
1-800-827-1000 for help getting this important property tax savings.
