THE FUNCTION, RESPONSIBILITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE

TULSA COUNTY

ASSESSOR’S OFFICE

BY JOHN A. WRIGHT

any people are probably unaware of the effort the Tulsa County Assessor puts forth in order to meet with citizen groups and help them understand how the property tax system in Oklahoma functions. If you own real estate or a business, you can expect to get a tax bill. Most of us would rather not have to pay taxes, but often when people have an opportunity to hear about how the system functions and get answers to their questions, it helps dissipate some of their frustration. Citizens are surprised to discover how structured the functions of the assessor’s office are. There are constitutional, statutory, regulatory, and professional guidelines that must be followed. And it must be done at the same time of the year each year. The process is statistical in nature because we perform “mass appraisal”, which means we analyze a number of market and other factors and mathematically determine a property’s value. We do a good job of this, and our performance is subjected to a rigorous audit by the Oklahoma Tax Commission every year. That performance is then reported to the State Board of Equalization. Since the audit went into effect in 2012, the Tulsa County Assessor has been at or near the top in the state each year, including two perfect scores. At every meeting with citizens, we take the opportunity to ensure the homeowners are getting the exemptions to which they are entitled. If you own and live in your home on January 1, you can apply for a Homestead Exemption. On average, this will save taxpayers around $131 a year. You need only apply, and it can be done online. If your gross

household income from all sources is less than $63,900 and you are 65 years of age or older, you may qualify for the Property Valuation Limitation (Senior Freeze). This freezes the taxable fair cash value of your home, meaning the taxable fair cash value can’t be raised. In addition, veterans who are 100%, permanently disabled can apply for a 100% exemption from property taxes. To learn more about these and other exemptions, you are invited to visit our website at www.assessor.tulsacounty.org. Or you can call our office at (918) 596-5100. Our employees are genuinely interested in answering your questions and helping ensure that you are receiving the exemptions for which you qualify. John A. Wright has been on the senior staff at the Tulsa County Assessor’s Office for over seven years. He has received Advanced Appraiser Accreditation from Oklahoma State University, and he is an IAAO Accredited Member through the International Association of Assessing Officers. He currently is the Chief Deputy Assessor. He is a former Oklahoma House of Representatives member and Oklahoma Real Estate Broker. Photo courtesy of the Tulsa County Assessor’s Office

The Sooner A The Better

BY DEANNA REBRO

thick, lush, head-turning landscape in the summer starts in winter. So much of caring for a lawn comes down to knowing what needs to be done and when to do it. The first step to a great yard is knowing who to call before spring. For the past 11 years, Sooner Lawn has been delivering a six-step lawn care program from early spring through fall that gets rid of weeds and nourishes grass so it will look good year-round. Owner and U.S. Army Captain Michael Bolton says that early spring is the best time to begin preparing your lawn. Sooner Lawn’s six-step program begins with an application of pre-emergent herbicide for crabgrass control, continues with additional weed control and fertilizers during spring and summer, and ends with a winterization weed control in the fall. While many homeowners treat their own lawns, the Sooner Lawn professionals take things to the next level. They treat lawns with the right formulations for that particular grass at the right times throughout the year for optimum results, applying lime to regulate proper soil ph to allow maximum effectiveness of fertilizers, and monitoring for insects and diseases. One of the hallmarks of Sooner Lawn is quick results. “We don’t have to tell our customers their lawns are getting better. They can see improvement each time we’re there,” says Michael. One customer, president and landscaping chairman of The Reserve at Battle Creek said, “The Reserve looks better that it has ever looked in the past, thanks to the Sooner crew. They are very professional and take great pride in their work. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lawn care company.” Michael adds that Sooner Lawn’s prices are below most, if not all, other local lawn care companies. And their prompt and professional customer service goes above and beyond expectations. “We keep our customers happy by offering great service at a great price with great results. Just give us a chance to prove it,” he says.

A five-year customer echoes his comment. “We have found Michael’s work to be very good, as well as his pricing. We would highly recommend his services.” Sooner Lawn serves residential and commercial customers throughout Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Bixby, Jenks, Sand Springs, Owasso and Claremore. Optional services include fertilization of flowerbeds, aeration for more effective watering and nourishment, perimeter control, insect control of fleas, ticks, ants, spiders and chinch bugs, mole control, turf disease control and fescue seeding. They are fully licensed and insured, and all their recommended work is guaranteed. Sooner Lawn is also accredited with the Better Business Bureau. Preparation now will go a long way toward enjoying the healthy green lawn you want this summer. And you don’t have to lift a finger except to call Sooner Lawn.

Youth At Heart’s Grandslam Gala on April 6 will support after school enrichment programs for Tulsa kids.

BY TERESA BOND-MASON

or the fourth year in a row, Youth At Heart is holding its annual gala to showcase its mission and the incredible people involved with it. The Mirror Mirror Grandslam Gala, being held at the DoubleTree Warren Place on April 6 will celebrate all the work that goes into making Youth At Heart the success it is. Youth At Heart is a non-profit agency that helps kids who are either left alone or unsupervised after school. It combines sports and education enrichment to

assist youth living in Tulsa’s socio-economically challenged neighborhoods. Programs consist of tutoring, character training, youth mentoring, health and fitness training, sports leagues, career exploration, community service and summer camp. The unique factor about Youth At Heart is that they provide the transportation to and from activities, removing the barrier many kids have from getting help. Students receive one-onone tutoring for 26 weeks during the school year and the sports

BIXBY, JENKS, & SAPULPA FEBRUARY 2018

programs run year-round. Some of the valuable lessons learned from many of the activities include group dynamics, health and fitness, engagement and general well-being, just to name a few. Director of Development Marquetta Finley is quick to point out that field trips are also planned for the kids. “We’ve taken them to the Cirque du Soleil and The Tulsa Botanic Garden, but we balance that with community service in the nursing homes and food banks. We want the kids to see what it’s like to be

giving members of society.” One of the best parts of being involved with Youth At Heart is hearing the alumni success stories. “Just the other day, a team member mentioned we got a letter from one of our alumni with a picture of his family letting us know what a difference his involvement in our program made in his life. That’s what it is all about,” says Marquetta. The Grandslam Gala will not be your typical black-tie ball. Instead, it’s encouraged you wear your favorite sports team

jersey and jeans. Several team mascots will be present as well as some surprise sports celebrities. Keith Isbell and Scott Gaffen will emcee the event where there will be a trivia challenge, cheer off and even a tail gate reception. Tickets are available online for $75 a plate. After school programs provide a solid return on investment. Research shows that for every one dollar invested in a program like Youth At Heart, it saves at least three dollars by increasing kids’ earning potential, improving

kids’ performance at school and reducing crime and juvenile delinquency. Youth At Heart has served more than 40,000 kids for over 40 years and they would love you to be a part of the festivities this year to support Tulsa kids. Put April 6 on your calendar now and plan to join in on the fun.

BY ADAM J. FOREMAN

he Oklahoma Arts Council recently announced the names of 14 individuals and five organizations that will be honored for their contributions to the arts in Oklahoma during the 42nd Governor’s Arts Awards on Feb. 28. Mark Frie, Tulsa Performing Arts Center Director and president of the ARTSOK Regional Arts Alliance of Broken Arrow, is among those being honored with the Arts In Education Award. Frie’s recognition comes from his involvement with the Kristin Chenoweth Arts & Education Fund. Together with the Emmy and Tony-winning actress, they developed the Broadway Boot Camp and Master Class programs to help aspiring entertainers learn the ropes of the performing arts world. For the past three years, students in grades 9-12 from across the state have auditioned to be in the camp and work one-on-one with Chenoweth and other entertainment professionals. In addition, Frie has been instrumental in helping the City of Broken Arrow to build and develop a creative arts center in the Rose District, meant to service under privileged students in after school programs. This endeavor is ongoing and will continue to evolve over the coming years. The awards will be presented during a special ceremony in the fourth floor rotunda at the Oklahoma state Capitol, followed by a reception outside the Betty Price Gallery on the Capitol’s first floor. Any questions about the ceremony can be directed to Joel Gavin of the Oklahoma Arts Council at 405-521-2037.
