State Question 758

State Question No.:  758 View Full Text: PDF document  Legislative Referendum No. 358
RESOLUTION OR BILL NUMBER:HJR 1002
CITATION:Amends Section 8B of Article 10
SUBJECT:Ad Valorem Taxation Limitation on Valuation Increases
ELECTION DATE:

Next General Election, November 6, 2012 OKLA. CONST. Art. 24, ?1BALLOT TITLE:

This measure amends the State Constitution. It amends Section 8B of Article 10.
The measure deals with real property taxes also called ad valorem taxes. These taxes are based on several factors. One factor is the fair cash value of the property. 
The measure changes the limits on increases in fair cash value. Now, increases are limited to 5% of fair cash value in any taxable year.
The measure changes the cap on increases to 3% for some property. The 3% cap would apply to homestead exempted property. The cap would also apply to agricultural land.
The measure also removes obsolete language.

Re: State Question 758

  • The language on the actual ballot doesn't contain this much information (like what the current cap is).

    Anyone have any thoughts on this? I know when I read about it, there were a lot of concerns about the impact to education funding.

    The way I understand it, currently property taxes can only increase by no more than 5% per year.  This would change that max increase to 3%.

    Well that sounds good to me!  

    Do you work in a public school? A school that is partially funded by property taxes?

    Aaahh good point. I clearly got too excited about the thought of our property taxes not increasing by as much.
