Moore family's dispute over oil-well flare next to residence
Summary
A Moore couple says an enclosed combustor at a nearby well site produced a 20-foot flame that shook their home and that neither the OCC, DEQ, city, nor fire marshal has helped. They asked the board to suspend their property taxes; the board said it lacks that power but kept the value flat rather than raising market value further.

Their tax bill rises roughly $200 a year, from about $3,550 to about $3,769.
The board's decision keeps their taxable value essentially flat, but no party gains real relief from the flare dispute.
The Nauman family continues living next to the flare site with unresolved health, safety, and property-value concerns.
