Let's calculate the property tax for a $200,000 home in Oklahoma County:

Component	Rate	Calculation
County Tax	0.025	$200,000 × 0.025 = $5,000
Municipal Tax	0.012	$200,000 × 0.012 = $2,400
School District Tax	0.028	$200,000 × 0.028 = $5,600
Special Taxing Districts	0.005	$200,000 × 0.005 = $1,000
Total Property Tax		$5,000 + $2,400 + $5,600 + $1,000 = $14,000

For this property, the estimated annual property tax would be $14,000.
