Property; Oklahoma Safe Neighborhoods Act of 2026; requiring compensation for certain property damage; claims; effective date.

Summary

The Oklahoma Safe Neighborhoods Act lets owners of fee‑simple property or triple‑net leaseholders in municipalities with more than 130,000 residents seek payment when local governments ignore laws against illegal camping, loitering, panhandling, public urination, drug use, or shoplifting, or otherwise create a public nuisance. Compensation can cover documented mitigation costs or a drop in fair market value, but not more than the owner's prior year’s primary property taxes. Claims must be filed with the local government, which has 30 days to accept or reject them, and owners may sue if rejected.
