Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

The personal property exemption. The Assessor's Forms & Links page posts "Form OTC 930 Application for Veterans Exemption of Personal Property". The form: "The veterans exemption specified in 68 OS Sec. 2887(12), is available to all veterans whether on active duty or honorably discharged, who served in the Armed Forces of the United States during a state of national emergency as declared by the President of the United States or Congress during any past, current or future period. Persons who served exclusively in the National Guard or the Reserves and whose military unit was not activated are not eligible for the exemption. All surviving spouses made so by the death of such enlisted or commissioned personnel, who are bona fide residents of Oklahoma, shall be entitled to the exemption. Please provide a copy of your U.S. Military Form DD-214 for verification." It covers "All household goods, tools, implements and livestock of every veteran maintaining a home", located in the county where the application is filed, and "The amount of the exemption is limited to Two-Hundred Dollars ($200.00) in gross assessed value of the eligible items. This may result in actual tax savings of an estimated $15.00 to $25.00 depending which county you reside in." Return it to the County Assessor by March 15; the form notes "Use OTC Form 998 or 998-A for 100% Disabled Veterans." The disabled veteran homestead exemption. The county site's How Do I, File list carries "100% Disabled Veteran's Homestead Exemption" and links it to the Assessor's site; the exemption is the State's full exemption of the homestead for a veteran rated 100% permanent and total (see the Oklahoma entries for the statute and Form 998). The Assessor's forms page also posts OTC 921 (homestead) and OTC 994 (valuation limitation and additional homestead). Where.
