The Pittsburg County Tax Roll Correction Board approved two tax-roll corrections at a special meeting on June 29, 2026, removing outstanding tax balances for parcels now owned by Pittsburg County and the City of McAlester, according to the board minutes.
Chairman Ross Selman moved to approve the corrections for Petition #5298 (tax years 2022–2025) concerning 11 parcels now owned by Pittsburg County and Petition #5299 (tax years 2022–2025) concerning 11 parcels now owned by the City of McAlester. Cathy Ridenour seconded the motion; the minutes record the vote as AYE: Ross Selman and Cathy Ridenour, NAY: none. Board member Matt McGowan was listed as absent during roll call.
The approved corrections remove the balance of taxes on the affected properties and specify that the parcels will be exempt from taxation until they are sold. The minutes do not list parcel addresses, the exact original owners, or dollar amounts associated with the balances; those details were not specified in the record.
The board opened with roll call and an approved agenda before taking the motions on the petitions. No unfinished business was reported, and Chairman Selman moved to adjourn the meeting; Ridenour seconded and the adjournment motion passed.
The minutes identify no further follow-up or timetable for resale-related updates; the board did not record additional direction to staff in the minutes provided.
