---|
192 | 198 | | C. The use value of agricultural land sh all be based on the |
---|
193 | 199 | | income capitalization approach using cash rent. The rental income |

---|
195 | 201 | | upon factors including, but not limited to: |
---|
196 | 202 | | 1. Soil types, as depicted on soil maps published by the |
---|
197 | 203 | | Natural Resources Conservation Service of the United States |
---|
198 | 204 | | Department of Agriculture; |
---|
199 | 205 | | 2. Soil productivity indices approved by the Ad Valorem |
---|
200 | 206 | | Division of the Tax Commis sion; |
---|
201 | 207 | | 3. The specific agricultural purp ose of the soil based on use |
---|
202 | 208 | | categories approved by the Ad Valorem Division of the Tax |
---|
203 | 209 | | Commission; and |
---|
204 | 210 | | 4. A capitalization rate to be determined annually by the Ad |
---|
205 | 211 | | Valorem Division of the Tax Commission based on the sum of the |
---|
206 | 212 | | average first mortgage inter est rate charged by the Federal Land |
---|
207 | 213 | | Bank for the immediately preceding five (5) years, weighted with the |
---|
208 | 214 | | prevailing rate or rates for additional loans or equity, and the |
---|
209 | 215 | | effective tax rate. |
---|
210 | 216 | | The final use value will be calculated using the soil |
---|
211 | 217 | | productivity indices and the agricultural use classificatio n as |
---|
239 | 246 | | This subsection shall not be construed in a manner which is |
---|
240 | 247 | | inconsistent with the duties, powers and authority of the Board as |
---|
241 | 248 | | to valuation of the counties as fixed and defined by Secti on 21 of |
---|
242 | 249 | | Article X of the Oklahoma Constitution. |
---|
243 | 250 | | However, in calculating the use value of buffer strips as |
---|
244 | 251 | | defined in Section 2817. 2 of this title, exclusive considerat ion |
---|
245 | 252 | | shall be based only on income from p roduction agriculture from such |
---|
246 | 253 | | buffer strips, not including federal or state subsidies, when valued |
---|
247 | 254 | | as required by subsection C of Section 2817.2 of this title. |
---|
248 | 255 | | D. The use value of nonresidential improvements on ag ricultural |
---|
249 | 256 | | land shall be based on the co st approach to value estimation using |
---|
250 | 257 | | currently updated cost manuals published by the Marshall and Swift |
---|
251 | 258 | | Company or similar cost manuals approved by the Ad Valorem Division |
---|
252 | 259 | | of the Tax Commission. The use value estim ates for the |
---|
253 | 260 | | nonresidential improvements shall take obsolescence and depreciation |
---|
254 | 261 | | into consideration in addition to necessary adjustments for local |
---|
255 | 262 | | variations in the cost of labor and materials. This section shall |
---|
256 | 263 | | not be construed in a manner which is inc onsistent with the duties, |
---|
257 | 264 | | powers and authority of the Board as to equalization of valua tion of |
---|
258 | 265 | | the counties as determined and defined by Section 21 of Article X of |
---|
259 | 266 | | the Oklahoma Constitution. |
---|
260 | 267 | | The use value of facilities used for poultry production shall be |
---|
261 | 268 | | determined according to the following p rocedures: |

288 | 296 | | 1. The Ad Valorem Division of the Ta x Commission is hereby |
---|
289 | 297 | | directed to develop a standard system of valuation of both real and |
---|
290 | 298 | | personal property of such facilities, wh ich shall be used by all |
---|
291 | 299 | | county assessors in this state, under which valuatio n based on the |
---|
292 | 300 | | following shall be presumed to be the fair cash value of the |
---|
293 | 301 | | property: |
---|
294 | 302 | | a. for real property, a ten -year depreciation schedule, |
---|
295 | 303 | | at the end of which the residual valu e is twenty |
---|
296 | 304 | | percent (20%) of the valu e of the facility during its |
---|
297 | 305 | | first year of operation, and |
---|
298 | 306 | | b. for personal property, a fi ve-year depreciation |
---|
299 | 307 | | schedule, at the end of which the residual value is |

300 | 308 | | zero; |
---|
301 | 309 | | 2. Such facilities shall be valued only in comparis on to other |
---|
302 | 310 | | facilities used exclusive ly for poultry production. Such a facil ity |
---|
303 | 311 | | which is no longer used for poultry producti on shall be deemed to |
---|
304 | 312 | | have no productive use; |
---|
305 | 313 | | 3. During the first year such a facility is placed on the tax |
---|
306 | 314 | | rolls, its fair cash v alue shall be presumed to be the less er of the |
---|
307 | 315 | | actual purchase price or the a ctual documented cost of construction; |
---|
308 | 316 | | and |

309 | 317 | | 4. For the purpose of determining the valuation of |

341 | 350 | | the desulphurization of gasoline or diesel fuel as defined in |

344 | 353 | | such oil refinery if such property would qualify as exempt property |

353 | 362 | | number of lots contained in the platted addition or subdivision |

354 | 363 | | until the lot shall have been conveyed to a bona fid e purchaser or |

355 | 364 | | the lot with building or buildings located thereon shall have been |

356 | 365 | | occupied other than as a sales office by the owner thereof, or shall |

358 | 367 | | purchases a lot for the purposes of constru cting and selling a |
---|
359 | 368 | | building on such lot shall not be deemed to be a bona fide purchaser |

388 | 398 | | assessor may consider the lot to have b een conveyed to a bona fide |

389 | 399 | | purchaser. The cost of any land or improvements to any real |

390 | 400 | | property required to be dedicated to public use , including, but not |

395 | 405 | | G. The transfer of real property without a change in its use |
---|
396 | 406 | | classification shall not require a reasse ssment thereof based |
---|
397 | 407 | | exclusively upon the sale value of the property. However, if the |

398 | 408 | | county assessor determines: |
---|
399 | 409 | | 1. That by reason of the transfer of a property there is a |
---|
400 | 410 | | change in the actual use or classification o f the property; or |
---|
401 | 411 | | 2. That by reason of the amount of the sales consideratio n it |
---|
402 | 412 | | is obvious that the use classification prio r to the transfer of the |
---|
403 | 413 | | property is not commensurate with and would not justify the amount |
---|
404 | 414 | | of the sales consideration of the prope rty; |
---|
405 | 415 | | then the assessor shall, in eith er event, reassess the property for |
---|
406 | 416 | | the new use classification for which the property is being used, or, |
---|
407 | 417 | | the highest and best use classification for which the property may, |
---|
408 | 418 | | by reason of the transfer, be classified for u se. |

444 | 455 | | zoning authority, and the use of the property has not been changed, |

445 | 456 | | the use and not zoning shall determine assessment. Any reassessment |

451 | 462 | | upon the tax rolls for the next ensuing year. When any building is |
