Grady County Board of County Commissioners: the 2025 Veterans Exemption Lost-Revenue Claims

The Board's record. The January 26, 2026 agenda's item 13 and the January 28, 2026 agenda's item 12: "Discussion and possible approval of a claim for the reimbursement of lost revenue due to 2025 Veterans Exemption." The claim is the Tax Commission's Form 969 route - the county's own levies lose the ad valorem the exempted value would have carried, and the State reimburses the county from the Ad Valorem Reimbursement Fund. A February 2, 2026 item of the same shape is the "2025 Additional Homestead Exemption", not the veteran one. No veteran, VFW, Legion or DAV line appears anywhere else in the year's agendas and minutes, and no veteran benefit was adopted, narrowed or repealed. The State rule behind the claim. Article X, section 8E exempts the homestead of a veteran paid at the 100 percent rate (or the surviving spouse); the exempted value is reimbursed to the county's own levy losses through the Form 969 claim (see the Oklahoma entries). The Assessor hosts the Form 998 application (the Assessor entry above). The Clerk's part. The County Clerk's fee schedule prices deeds, plats, liens and copies but names no military discharge line, and the Clerk's page does not mention military discharge papers - the State's Title 72, section 22 free recording and 19 O.S. 270 confidentiality carry the county (the Payne County clerk's page is the pattern that names them). The Clerk is at the Grady County Courthouse, 326 West Choctaw Ave, Chickasha; the Board meets in the Commissioner's Meeting Room at 9:00 a.m. Mondays.
