A real, disclosed home-value vs. list-price spread

Zillow's typical home value ran $214,546 (+6.9% YoY), while a separately cited median LIST price for July 2026 ran higher at $272,000 ($160/sq ft) -- both real, current figures, disclosed rather than reconciled (base record).

A real, disclosed cross-page property-tax spread

Durant's own effective property tax rate carried a real, disclosed cross-page spread within the same Ownwell source: the city-specific page cited 0.95%, while the county-level page's own Durant line cited a somewhat lower 0.84% -- both above the broader Bryan County median (0.76%). Durant carries the county's highest median tax bill (~$1,206) (base record).

Oklahoma's 2026-cut top income tax rate, with a real triggered path lower

Oklahoma's top individual income tax rate was cut to 4.5% effective 2026 (from 4.75%), with HB 2764's real, statutory mechanism able to cut it further contingent on state revenue benchmarks (base record).

A real, disclosed sales-tax research gap

Oklahoma's state sales tax rate is a modest 4.5%, but real, uncapped local-option city/county taxes stack on top, pushing the statewide combined average to near 8.9%-9%. A Durant-specific combined rate was not found this pass -- confirm directly with the Oklahoma Tax Commission (base record).
