Supreme Court of Oklahoma

The Icon at Norman Apts, Lp v. Douglas Warr, Cleveland County Assessor

June 17, 20252025 OK 42

Summary

The Oklahoma Supreme Court held that the transfer of partnership interests in a limited partnership owning real property does not constitute a transfer of title to the real property for purposes of the constitutional five‑percent valuation cap, vacated the Court of Tax Review’s summary‑judgment order and remanded for further proceedings. The Court reviewed the summary‑judgment grant de novo and interpreted the constitutional and statutory language to require an actual change in legal title to the land, not merely an equitable interest.
