Volume XXI, Issue X October 2012 The mission of the Ad Valorem Division of the Oklahoma Tax Commission is to promote an ad valorem property tax system which is fair and equitable to all taxpayers by implementing standard valuation methodology, tax law conformity, and assessment administration compliance. Oklahoma Ad Valorem F O R U M Continued on page 2... “IAAO Zangerle Award Winner: 1997 and 2010” Director’s Notes: Happy Halloween! It’s about time for the County Assessors Association Convention, and it is hard to believe that this is the 101st anniversary of the Association. It seems like only a couple of weeks ago that Monica and the officers were running around in 2010 planning for the 2011 special Assessors Convention for the century celebration. When an organization reaches a 100, time flies. The Ad Valorem Division has had a hectic fall—we say that every year, but this really has been an unusual year. I know that the counties have been concerned about the special “test” audit the State Board directed us to do, but walk in our shoes for a while. Think about how it’s been to work out hundreds of details, add another audit to our field analyst’s schedule and basically forge a new trail to implement/test the new process the State Board set up for county review. It’s been busy, but we’re making great progress. We had a successful conference last month on the personal property schedule methodology. This is our fourth year with this process, and it appears to be working well. We appreciate everyone’s participation. The process we’ve used for the last three years has been more open and transparent than in past years. We had a good turn-out of industry representatives and county assessors. Larry Rawlings will post the first draft on November 1 with a ten-day comment period. The second draft will be posted on December 3, and after review by the Commissioners, we will publish the final schedule January 1, 2013. Anyone is welcome to make comments. (Send them to Cyndi Heath, cheath@tax.ok.gov) Mike Isbell and I attended the Oklahoma Association of Tax Representatives meeting in Tulsa. The meeting was productive and we had several questions from the group. OATR has fewer centrally assessed taxpayers and more oil and gas companies with local property since the Texaco court case. There’s a lot of interest in SQ 766 on intangibles, as you might imagine. Joe Hapgood and his staff have completed the Equalization Studies for 2012, and he’s wrapping up the “test” audit which will be submitted to the State Board Subcommittee. I would like to thank the counties in helping our staff complete these studies. Thanks, also, to the Assessment & Equalization Analysts who traveled all statewide finishing this important work for the State Board of Equalization subcommittee as well as the work for the full Board meeting in late November. Trina Williams and the forms committee are having the final forms meeting at the fall conference. This year the committee revised sixteen forms.
