How is Oklahoma land taxed, and when can it go to a tax resale? (statistics 19–23)

Oklahoma taxes land on an assessed value of 11% to 13.5% of fair cash value, and caps yearly increases at 3% for homesteads and farmland, 5% for other property. Taxes are due November 1. After three years unpaid, the county can sell the land at its June resale.

Please note. General information, not legal advice. Laws change and every title is different, so confirm your situation with an Oklahoma attorney before you act.

What rules apply when Oklahoma land is sold and recorded? (statistics 24–25)

Two numbers matter at closing. The state deed stamp tax is $0.75 for each $500 of the price, and since November 2023 every recorded deed needs a notarized affidavit from the buyer, with a short list of exceptions. The title company or closing attorney usually prepares both.

  1. 24. Oklahoma’s deed stamp tax is $0.75 for each $500 of the sale price, or $150 on a $100,000 sale (68 O.S. § 3201).

How we compiled these statistics, and what is not here

We copied each number from its primary source: USDA’s 2026 land value report, Oklahoma State University’s land sale tables, the Oklahoma Constitution and the Oklahoma Statutes. Where we did math, the sentence says so. We collected no new sales data, publish no individual sale prices and make no forecasts.

  • Two kinds of price data. USDA’s figures come from a yearly survey of about 30,000 farm operators (2026). OSU’s come from recorded sales of rural tracts of 40 acres or more. They measure different things, so they do not match.
  • No 2026 county prices exist. The newest county data we could confirm is OSU’s 2021–2023 table, posted in 2024. We will update this page when OSU posts newer tables.
  • County change over ten years. OSU publishes its 2012–2014 to 2021–2023 county comparison only as a color-coded map, without county numbers, so we do not list a percent change by county. The statewide change in statistic 9 is printed in OSU’s own table.
  • Thin counties. Six counties rest on fewer than 20 sales in three years (statistic 17). In metro counties, most land sells in small tracts that OSU’s 40-acre data does not count.
  • Minerals. Neither source breaks out mineral rights.
