Property tax

What homeowners in Haskell pay

$889
a year · Oklahoma typical $1,599
Effective rate
0.76%
of home value · Oklahoma 0.80%
Typical home value
$117,000
owner-occupied

The median yearly bill homeowners report, covering every local property tax on the home (town, schools, county). The effective rate is that bill divided by the median home value, so it's a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the survey estimate has a wide margin.
