Ad valorem tax; modifying homestead exemption. Effective date.

SB 1885 modifies Oklahoma's homestead tax exemption for homeowners. Starting in 2027, it phases in a full exemption from ad valorem taxes on homestead properties: 33% in 2027, 67% in 2028, and 100% from 2029 onward. This replaces previous exemption amounts and applies uniformly to all qualifying homeowners statewide. The bill takes effect January 1, 2027, with taxes for 2027 payable in 2027. It directly affects Oklahoma homeowners who qualify for homestead exemption under state law.
