Okla. Admin. Code § 710:10-6-8

Current through Vol. 42, No. 3, October 15, 2024

Section 710:10-6-8 - Filing an application

(a)Application by taxpayer. Unless the exempt storm shelter property has been identified and designated by the county assessor, an application to obtain a storm shelter exemption must be filed with the county assessor on form OTC 905. Such an application may be filed at any time. However, the county assessor shall, if the applicant qualifies, grant an exemption for a storm shelter for the current tax year only if the application is filed on or before March 15 of the current tax year. An application filed after March 15 of the current tax year will only entitle the applicant, if otherwise qualified, to an exemption for storm shelter property beginning the following tax year. There is no requirement for annual reapplication once the exemption is granted.

(b)Assessor may identify exempt storm shelter property. If the county assessor identifies a storm shelter that, in the assessor's opinion, qualifies for the exemption, the assessor may designate the shelter on the permanent property record in the assessor's office. In this case, there will be no requirement for the property owner to make application for the exemption. The exemption will be subject to all other requirements set out in this Subchapter.
