Indian Lands Tax Dispute Nearing Court Hearing

In Sallisaw Oklahoma on January 26 Judge Pitchford heard a petition by Jack Ridel and others representing Sequoyah county Indians seeking removal from tax rolls of lands held by original allottees. The court granted relief only for homestead allotments. surplus lands remain taxed. Attorneys for the Indians plan to appeal. If land returns favor the allottees, the county may need to float bonds to cover five years of tax deficits. County officials have previously issued erroneous assessment certificates for homesteads but deemed surplus lands taxable.
