Oklahoma residents may soon vote on a proposal to eliminate property taxes for primary residences by 2029. The initiative, State Question 841, would gradually reduce these taxes, with no impact on existing debts incurred by schools, counties, or cities before 2026. Proponents, including lawmakers Mike Reynolds, Shane Jett, and Jay Steagall, believe this will encourage homeownership, while critics like Oklahoma County Commissioner Jason Lowe warn of severe harm to county governments. The petitioners aim to gather signatures for the November 2026 ballot.
