HJR 1063 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Oklahoma Constitution; ad valorem taxation; homestead; exemption; age requirements; ownership provisions; ballot title; filing.

HJR 1063 proposes a constitutional amendment that would exempt homestead properties from all property taxes for owners aged 45 or older as of January 1 each year, starting January 1, 2027. It applies to any homestead with multiple owners if at least one owner meets the age requirement, but excludes properties with recorded mortgages (including purchase-price mortgages) or other liens. The exemption would cover all property taxes, not just specific categories. This amendment requires voter approval through a referendum and does not take effect until after the 2027 tax year. It directly affects Oklahoma homeowners aged 45+ who own their primary residence without qualifying mortgages or liens.
