Bill > HB1398

This bill requires cities and towns in Oklahoma to transmit copies of building permits to county assessors within 30 days of issuance, with a preference for electronic copies when possible. The legislation aims to improve information sharing between municipal governments and county assessment offices, which can help county assessors maintain more accurate property records and valuation databases. Specifically, the bill mandates that when a city or town issues a building permit for new construction or significant improvements, they must send a copy of that permit to the county assessor's office, either in paper or electronic format, no later than one month after the permit is issued. The new legal requirement will take effect on November 1, 2025, giving local governments time to prepare for and implement the new reporting process. By ensuring timely and comprehensive permit documentation, the bill supports more precise property tax assessment and local government record-keeping.
