A proposal in the Oklahoma Legislature could change how counties assess property values, potentially affecting how much homeowners pay in property taxes. The bill would allow county assessors to use “digital visual technology on aerial images or satellite’s to identify changes to a property, rather than relying on in-person inspections. Supporters argue this could make assessments faster and more efficient, and some local assessors believe it could reduce costs over time. However, concerns have been raised about whether this could lead to higher valuations and higher taxes if additional features or improvements are detected. If the bill becomes law, counties could begin using the technology immediately.
