HB 1114 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Cities and towns; municipal land bank program; tax; sale of property; effective date.

HB 1114 clarifies that the mayor's office or its designee, alongside the city manager, may make decisions regarding municipal land banks. This procedural amendment affects cities and towns operating land banks by specifying who has authority to handle property sales and tax-related matters under the program. It does not change tax rates, property sale rules, or create new policies - only streamlines existing decision-making procedures. The bill was amended by committee and passed "Do Pass" in February 2025.

MODERATE

The bill was amended to replace the entire original text with a new version that restructures the municipal land bank program requirements. Key changes include renaming the entity to 'land bank' rather than 'municipal land bank', adding explicit authority for land banks to manage, maintain, and protect property for public purposes, and clarifying the definition of 'land bank' to focus on acquiring, holding, and transferring unimproved real property.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on municipal land banks, but the language now more clearly defines the entity's purpose and expands its operational authority to include managing, maintaining, and protecting property for public purposes.

DEFINITION

Added a new definition for 'land bank' to explicitly state it is an entity established for acquiring, holding, and transferring unimproved real property.

REQUIREMENT

Added explicit authority for land banks to manage, maintain, and protect property or temporarily use it for public purposes.

Reorganized the bill structure to consolidate related provisions and clarify the relationship between adopting a land bank program and establishing the land bank entity.

TECHNICAL
