helping pass proposals to change the state constitution to help more senior
citizens become eligible for the freeze on assessments which can help reduce
property tax increases, the Oklahoma County Assessor’s Office has been part of a
county government movement to write and pass legislation to ease the property
tax burden on citizens while still providing the necessary funds to adequately
fund public schools and other essential county services.
