Murray County, Oklahoma property-tax payment and appeal deadlines
Tax bills, payment rules, and valuation-review windows are controlled by the local jurisdiction and the governing state framework. The reviewed record below separates published figures from items that still require confirmation with Murray County Assessor Bradley Vandagriff / Murray County Treasurer Kim Hale.

Payment deadline
PublishedFor tax year 2026, Oklahoma ad valorem taxes become due November 1, 2026; the full amount or at least one-half is due December 31, 2026; if at least one-half is paid by December 31, the second half is due March 31, 2027; otherwise the full levy becomes delinquent January 1, 2027, with penalties and interest under Oklahoma law.
Valuation protest
PublishedFor 2026, Oklahoma Tax Commission Form 974 requires a written protest to the county assessor within 30 calendar days after the valuation notice was mailed; if the value was unchanged from the prior year, a protest may be filed on or before the first Monday in April. The assessor must issue a written decision within seven calendar days after the informal hearing; a taxpayer appeal uses OTC Form 976 within 15 calendar days after the decision is mailed, and proceedings must be completed by May 31 or the county Board of Equalization adjournment date.
Do not assume a grace period.
The reviewed record identifies the payment timing above but does not establish a universal penalty schedule for this page. Late charges, interest, collection costs, tax-sale procedures, and lien or foreclosure timelines can depend on state law and the local collector’s process. If the deadline is close or a balance is delinquent, contact the tax collector directly and request the current payoff amount in writing.
Treat a published payment deadline as a hard operational date and retain your receipt or confirmation number.
From assessment to collection
01Valuation and notice
Review the assessment notice as soon as it arrives. The protest window may run from the notice date rather than from the payment due date.
02Statement and account review
Match the tax statement to the parcel or account number and confirm exemptions, assessed value, taxing units, credits, and balance.
03Payment confirmation
Use the official collector channel, then save the receipt, transaction reference, and date posted. A bank submission is not always the same as a county posting date.
