OK SB105

State Board of Equalization required to set uniform statewide fee or schedule of fees for county assessors to charge for searching, producing, and copying property data in electronic/digital format for commercial purposes.

Fees must be based on actual cost of duplication (materials and supplies only), with labor costs allowed only when custodian must compile, extract, or redact data to create new documents.

Fees do not apply to individual property owners obtaining information about their own property.

County assessors must post applicable fees in their principal office and with the county clerk; Board shall review fees annually at December meeting to ensure uniform application across counties.

Records not readily available must be provided within 3 working days, with possible extension up to 7 working days if voluminous, requiring extension agreement, or if fulfilling request impairs office duties; custodian must notify requester within 7 working days if deadline cannot be met.

Effective November 1, 2011.
