HB 1103 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Department of Transportation; modifying conditions for disposal of surplus property; effective date.

HB 1103 updates Oklahoma's Department of Transportation's rules for selling surplus property, such as land acquired for highways or unused equipment. It requires the DOT to notify original property owners (or their successors) of surplus land for sale, offering to sell at the original purchase price for five years before moving to public auction. For small parcels (under 3 acres) with only one adjacent owner, that owner must also be notified. The bill additionally mandates the DOT to seek federal approval before selling land held as surplus for ten years or more at below market value. These changes aim to ensure fair treatment of affected property owners during disposal processes.
