Homestead exemption
Oklahoma's general homestead exemption reduces a home's assessed value by $1,000 (typically worth roughly $75-$125/year in actual tax savings, depending on local millage rates); homeowners must file with their county assessor. Separately, and confirmed directly on Oklahoma's official state tax site, 100% permanently and totally disabled veterans (and their un-remarried surviving spouses) receive a full exemption from ad valorem property tax on the homestead's entire fair cash value, via OTC Form 998 filed with the county assessor. Oklahoma is also commonly described as offering an additional 'double' homestead exemption for low-income seniors/disabled homeowners, but the current income threshold and exact additional-exemption amount could not be confirmed on a live official Oklahoma Tax Commission page during this research pass (multiple oklahoma.gov and county assessor pages were unreachable); homeowners should confirm with their county assessor.

First-time buyer / down payment assistance programs

  • OHFA Gold Loan Program

    Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency's primary tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond program: a 30-year fixed-rate FHA, VA, USDA-RD, HUD Section 184, or conventional first mortgage for first-time homebuyers statewide (first-time requirement waived for buyers purchasing in an OHFA-designated targeted census tract); includes special discounted rates for teachers, law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs, and state employees. Subject to county-specific income limits and statewide purchase-price limits.

  • OHFA Dream Loan Program

    Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency's mortgage program for buyers who may currently own other property but are purchasing a new primary residence (no first-time-buyer requirement); available as government (FHA/VA/USDA) or conventional loans, with the same 3.5% down payment/closing cost assistance as the Gold program.
