Property; prohibiting title by prescription under certain circumstances. Effective date.
SB 350 amends Oklahoma property law to prevent someone from gaining legal ownership of land through long-term occupation (known as "title by prescription") if the actual property owner paid all taxes during that time. This directly affects property owners who pay taxes and individuals claiming ownership through continuous possession. The key change requires that tax payments by the rightful owner during the occupation period block any adverse possession claim. The bill does not alter existing property ownership rights but sets a clear tax-based barrier to new claims. It becomes effective November 1, 2025.
