How to read these numbers
- These are estimates from a survey, not a count. The American Community Survey asks a sample of households. The ± figure is the Census Bureau’s margin of error: the true value is very likely within that range of the estimate. Small places have large margins.
- “Too imprecise to report” means the margin of error is at least half of the estimate, so printing the number would suggest accuracy that does not exist. A “rough guide only” note means the margin is a quarter to a half of the estimate.
- Property tax bill and home value are medians for owner-occupied homes. Half of the homes are above the figure and half below. A median bill is not the rate set by a city or town; the bill combines taxes levied by every local government that serves the home, such as the school district and county.
- “Calculated” rows are worked out by Untax the Roof from the Census figures above them. They compare two medians, so they describe the place, not a particular household.
- Missing is not zero. Where the Census Bureau publishes no figure, this page says so.

If property taxes go unpaid in Oklahoma
How it works. County annual tax sale followed, after statutory delinquency period, by county resale auction under Title 68; county may acquire parcels not purchased at resale
Excess sale money. 68 O.S. 3131 requires excess over taxes/penalties/interest/costs to be held for record owner, subject to Oklahoma Tax Commission setoff procedure added in 2023. Owner has 1 year to withdraw remaining excess; 2025 Attorney General Opinion 2025-10 concluded the one-year requirement is constitutionally valid under its analysis
These rules are set by Oklahoma, not by Braman, so this section is the same for every place in the state. Last verified 2026-09-25. See the full Oklahoma entry with statute links.
