The most immoral of all taxes.

It is legalized theft.

With property taxes, you rent your house from the government.

I, too, froze my property taxes (Oklahoma County). Several years ago.

But, once the freeze is approved by the county, a manual renewal (continuation filing) is required EVERY single year. That fact is not well-explained on the form... really, the form's wording is a bit misleading. Carefully keep your filings up-to-date!

These taxes are immoral but I think the top is taxes on groceries. That is the most terrible of taxes IMHO.

This is subject to income restrictions as well as age.

Be aware, anytime they decide to "reassess" your property, you have to reapply for the over 65 exemption. Another taxing gotcha.

working for a paycheck uncle sam is there with his hand out wanting his take. You take whats left to the lumber yard to build a shed to keep the rain off your horse there is uncle again. Then when you get the shed built he comes around every year wanting rent money.
I think voting should be in the same month as paying taxes.

Moving from the Rocky Mountain states to OK I can't find too much to complain about in terms of taxes. Our homestead exemption on the new place will take effect in 2024 as will the senior exemption.

Our property is split into two sections. The main portion is about 12 acres with the house, two large shops and several small outbuildings. Taxes on that are about $592 year but will decrease with the homestead exemption. The other parcel is about 7 acres and it's a whopping $4 year.

I despise paying property taxes but, since I have to pay them, I might as well pay as little as possible and take every advantage I can get.

Do they consider SS & pensions as income? I’m over the limit.
