HJR 1001 proposes a constitutional amendment to remove the income requirement for Oklahoma seniors aged 65+ to qualify for a homestead tax exemption. Currently, seniors must meet a household income threshold based on HUD median income for their county, but this bill eliminates that test. Eligibility would still require homeowners to be 65+ years old, have occupied the property for at least 10 years (with up to 365 days absence allowed in a decade), and own a home valued at $500,000 or less. The change would expand access to the exemption for more seniors without altering the age, occupancy, or property value requirements.
