What you'll pay, at a glance

Property taxes are the largest local tax most homeowners pay. The effective rate measures the real tax bill as a share of home value — a more useful number than the nominal “mill rate,” because assessment practices vary county to county.

How this is calculated

The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.

Frequently asked questions

What is the property tax rate in Sequoyah County, OK?
The effective rate is 0.55% — meaning the median tax bill equals about 0.55% of the median home value.
How much are property taxes on a median home?
On the median home ($139,400), the estimated annual bill is about $761.
Is Sequoyah County's rate high or low?

How does the effective rate differ from my mill rate?

Can I appeal my property tax assessment?
Yes. Most counties allow an appeal when you believe the assessed value exceeds the market value. File with the Sequoyah County assessor within the local deadline, typically with comparable sales as evidence.
