Oklahoma Constitution; fair cash value of homestead; limit; ballot title; filing.

HJR 1004 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit property tax increases for Oklahoma homesteads. It would freeze the tax assessment value of a primary residence for homeowners who have owned and occupied the property for at least 10 years and whose gross household income stays below HUD's low-income threshold for their county. The cap remains in effect as long as these conditions are met, but any property improvements would be added to the assessed value while still respecting the frozen baseline. If homeowners move out or exceed the income limit, the property reverts to standard tax assessment rules. This measure requires voter approval via ballot referendum.
