SB 2018 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Ad valorem tax; prescribing valuation method for certain real property for certain period. Effective date.

SB 2018 amends Oklahoma property tax law to establish a specific valuation method for large residential rental housing developments. It defines "residential rental housing" as properties with at least 60 rental units and prescribes how county assessors must value these properties for ad valorem tax purposes. The bill updates statutory definitions and requirements in Sections 2802 and 2817 of the Oklahoma Statutes, ensuring these properties are assessed using a method consistent with market value standards. This change directly affects county tax assessors and owners of large multi-unit rental properties across Oklahoma.
