HB 1290 limits land ownership by the State of Oklahoma, state agencies, the federal government, and land encumbrances (like conservation easements) to no more than 10% of each county's total land. County clerks must refuse to record any property documents that would exceed this 10% threshold. Exemptions include federal military bases, flood control lakes, and temporary county tax-foreclosed properties. The law takes effect November 1, 2025, directly affecting county record-keeping practices and large landholdings by government entities.
