Oklahoma does not cap assessment increases at sale or for existing owners — your home will be reassessed to fair market value upon sale or during the county's general reappraisal. Payne County (home to Oklahoma State University's Stillwater campus) offers a Homestead Exemption for primary residences that reduces taxable value; apply through the Payne County Assessor's office. File your homestead exemption application with the Payne County Assessor immediately after purchase to ensure the exemption applies to your first tax bill.
