 Title 68. REVENUE AND TAXATION

  § 68-2822. Adequate provisions to effectuate visual inspection program to be included in assessors' budgets.  

Latest version.

  • A.  Each county assessor in budgets submitted to the county excise board or county budget board shall make adequate provision to effect countywide visual inspections of real property during the four-year cycle.

    B.  Each jurisdiction within a county which receives revenue from an ad valorem mill rate shall receive a copy of the budget for the countywide visual inspection program for that county.  The county excise board or county budget board shall notify all such jurisdictions of any meetings at which discussion or action on the budget for the comprehensive program of visual inspections is or may be on the agenda.  Such jurisdictions shall have the opportunity to appear before the county excise board or the county budget board, prior to approval of such budgets, to provide testimony, comments, information and documentation concerning the budgets submitted by the county assessor pursuant to subsection A of this section.

    C.  The several county excise and budget boards, in passing upon budgets submitted by the several assessors, shall authorize and levy amounts which will suffice to carry out the countywide visual inspection program as approved by the Oklahoma Tax Commission under Section 2820 of this title.  Such amounts shall be separate from other funds allocated to the office of county assessor and shall be used exclusively to carry out the countywide visual inspection program.  The allocation of such amounts shall not serve to decrease other funds allocated to the office of county assessor by the county excise board or the county budget board.  Any disputes as to the amount authorized to carry out the countywide visual inspection program shall be resolved by the county excise board; provided, the Oklahoma Tax Commission shall take such action as may be necessary to ensure that such amounts are used exclusively to carry out the countywide visual inspection program and that the allocation of such amounts does not serve to decrease other funds allocated to the office of county assessor.
