AGRICULTURAL EXEMPTION PERMIT

 

An agricultural exemption is an exemption from sales tax when you purchase personal property for your farm, ranch or agricultural endeavors, for example tractors, feed, fertilizer or other farm and ranch related essentials.

 

Pursuant to Title 68 Section 1358.1 of the Oklahoma Statutes, individuals or businesses engaged in farming or ranching for profit may qualify for an agricultural exemption. A permit card must be obtained from the Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC) and used when making a purchase tax-exempt for their farm or ranch.

 

It does not exempt vehicle purchases from the assessment of sales tax, other than all-terrain vehicles/utility vehicles/off-road motorcycles.
