$
Effective rate 0.91% = this county's median owner-occupied tax bill ($2,052, ACS 2022 5-year estimate) divided by the typical home value at the time ($225,680, Zillow, 2022-12-31). Exemptions the seller holds — homestead, senior, veteran — usually do not transfer with the deed, so a new purchase can run above this figure. The county assessor sets the assessed value; this is an estimate, not a quote.
If you pay late
Delinquent taxes bear interest at 1.5% per month or major fraction, plus costs and fees, under 68 O.S. Section 2913.
