Okla. Stat. tit. 19, § 19-431: Right of appeal - Bond - Appeal on demand of freeholders -

Appeal by taxpayer.

From all decisions of the board of commissioners, upon matters

properly before them, there shall be allowed an appeal to the

district court by any persons aggrieved, including the county by its

district attorney, upon filing a bond with sufficient penalty, and

one or more sureties to be approved by the county clerk, conditioned

that the appellant will prosecute his or her appeal without delay,

and pay all cost that he or she may be adjudged to pay in the said

district court; said bond shall be executed to the county, and may

be sued in the name of the county upon breach of any condition

therein; provided, that the district attorney, upon the written

demand of at least fifteen (15) freeholders of the county, shall

take an appeal from any action of the board of county commissioners

when said action relates to the interest or affairs of the county at

large or any portion thereof, in the name of the county, when he

deems it to the interest of the county so to do; and in such case no

bond shall be required or given and upon serving the notice provided

for in the next section the county clerk shall proceed the same as

if a bond had been filed; provided, further, that if the district

attorney shall fail or refuse to appeal after the written demand of

the said fifteen (15) freeholders, then any resident taxpayer of the

county may be considered a person aggrieved and may appeal upon

filing a bond with sufficient penalty, as provided in the foregoing

portion of this paragraph.
