Time to File for Homestead Exemption

Time To File

Oklahoma law allows the owner(s) of a residential real estate property to file for and receive a Homestead Exemption on that property if they were the owners of record on January 1 and are living in the property. In addition, the Homestead Exemption also establishes a legal record of Homestead on a residence.
If you would like to know if you currently have a Homestead Exemption on your home, or how to file for the Exemption, contact me at 918-260-9932. You have until March 15th to file for the Homestead Exemption for 2009. If you have already filed for the Homestead Exemption on your current residence, you do NOT need to file again.
The Tulsa County Assessor's Office has a website which allows taxpayers in Tulsa County to download the forms for filing the Homestead Exemption. The web address is http://www.assessor.tulsacounty.org/.
With the website, Tulsa County taxpayers no longer have to go downtown to the Tulsa County courthouse to file for the Homestead Exemption. You can simply download the application, complete and mail it to the Assessor's office. Don't forget, the deadline for filing for the Homestead Exemption for 2009 is March 15, 2009.
