Oklahoma Administrative Code
Title 710 - Oklahoma Tax Commission
Chapter 10 - AD Valorem
Subchapter 14 - Disabled Veterans in Receipt of Compensation at the one Hundred Percent Rate
Section 710:10-14-1 - General provisions

(a) The procedures and requirements set out in this Subchapter shall be used to implement the exemption of the full fair cash value for homestead property and household personal property of qualified owners for ad valorem purposes.

(b) The "one hundred percent disabled veterans exemption" refers to the implementation of the constitutional amendments added to the Oklahoma Constitution, Article 10, § 8E, by State Question 715, effective January 1, 2006 and Article 10, § 8D, by State Question 735, effective January 1, 2009. The amendments direct county assessors to exempt the total amount of the actual fair cash value of the homestead real property and household personal property of any qualified person who has made proper application. The applicant's real property must be a valid homestead property, with evidence of a homestead exemption, or eligible for homestead exemption. As with any homestead-based exemption, the general statutes governing homestead exemption qualification apply to the one hundred percent disabled veterans exemption. Only one homestead, and by extension, only one exemption, is permitted in any one year, per applicant The exemption applies only to owner-occupied homestead property and may not be applied to any non-homestead property. [See: 68 O.S. §§ 2888, 2889, 2890, 2893 ]

(c) The passage of State Question 770, effective November 4, 2014, adds an amendment to Article 10 Section 8E to allow for the transfer of the exemption set forth therein under the circumstances where a qualifying veteran or surviving spouse of the veteran sells a previously exempted homestead property in Oklahoma and acquires, in the same calendar year, a new homestead property in the state. The full fair cash value of the newly acquired property shall be exempt from ad valorem tax. The exemption on the property sold will remain in effect through the end of the calendar year.
