| The County Excise Board is comprised of the members of the County Board of
Equalization. The County Clerk serves as the non-voting Secretary to the Board.
The Excise Board oversees and reviews all county, school district, and city
budgets to determine if they are legally and adequately funded with the revenues
available. Specifically, the Board reviews and approves the County budget, fixes
the annual tax levy and millage rates, and gives public notice that the budget
and tax levies are open to public discussion.
By statute, the Excise Board is to meet at the County seat on or before the
first Monday in July each year to organize and elect a chairman and vice-chairman
for that fiscal year. In addition to meeting to approve the budget and tax rates,
the Excise Board meets as required during the year to review and approve other
mid-year budget-related actions, such as supplemental appropriations. Excise
Board meetings are held in Room 119 of the Tulsa County Administration Building,
500 South Denver, Tulsa, Oklahoma. |
