What This Data Tells Us About Oklahoma
The statewide average property tax in Oklahoma is $1,599 per year, 20% below the national average of $1,993, based on Census ACS state-level estimates.

Within Oklahoma, median annual tax ranges from $395 in Cimarron County (effective rate 0.40%) to $2,394 in Canadian County (effective rate 0.97%). Median home values in Oklahoma ($199,800) compared with $227,791 nationally help explain why the same effective rate produces different dollar bills in different states. Within-state variation often tracks local school levies, county bonds, and municipal overlays rather than a single statewide rate.
