OKLAHOMA COUNTY TREASURER’S

COUNTY OWNED PROPERTY ACQUIRED AT RESALE

The Oklahoma County properties listed herein were initially in our resale auction that we conduct every year for nonpayment of taxes. Any property not purchased at the resale auction, by default, then becomes Oklahoma County owned property acquired at resale according to Oklahoma State Statute 68 § 3135. By state law, these properties are also maintained through Oklahoma County. Once the County owns these properties, they can be purchased by the public through a bidding process.

* This is a BUYER BEWARE sale. The buyer assumes all responsibility and liability upon the purchase of these properties. Some Federal, State and City liens may still exist and be valid against the property. Each bidder should research the records and inspect the property which they are considering prior to entering a bid.

Assessment Value Information

The Oklahoma County Assessor determines property values and provides notification of valuation. If you have any questions concerning your assessment, please contact the County Assessor's Office at 405-713-1200.

Interest

Failure to receive a statement is not a legal reason for waiving interest. The Treasurer must assess interest on all delinquent payments at a rate of 18% per year, added monthly on the 15th day of each month, at a rate of 1.5%.

Mortgages

If your mortgage company is responsible for payment of your real estate taxes, as soon as we receive payment and post your account, it will immediately reflect paid on our web site. Most mortgage companies use a third party tax service company. This means your mortgage company remits payment to the tax service company who in turn submits payment to us for all mortgage companies they service.

If your tax does not show paid and your mortgage company states they remitted payment for your taxes most likely the payment went to a tax service.

New Ownership

If you are a new owner of a property, you should contact the County Assessor's office with the correct address to send the statement before September 30. As they will certify the accounts to our office on October 1.

Payment Schedule

Your property taxes may be paid in full or in 2 installments. The one half or the full amount must be paid by December 31st. If nothing is paid by December 31st, then the full amount becomes delinquent January 1st and interest is added.

We can not accept first half payment after the December 31st due date. If you choose to pay the first half payment on December 31st, then the last half becomes due on March 31st.

Payment Methods

• We can accept payment of taxes by credit card but it must be over the Internet (not our rule.) While there is a convenience fee for this service, Oklahoma County does not receive any of this fee.

• If you wish to use the Internet credit card payment option but you do not have access to the Internet, you can come to our office where we have a computer for public use. The County Treasurer's Office is located at:

The three types of affidavits are: AFFIDAVIT OF BUSINESS OR TRUST; INDIVIDUAL; OR EXEMPT BUSINESS OR TRUST. Due to this new procedure, there will be a delay in getting the Resale Deeds filed.

 

THE ADDRESS LISTED ON THE TAX ROLLS MAY NOT BE THE ADDRESS OF THE PROPERTY BEING SOLD. WE SELL PROPERTY BY THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION.

Everyone that is bidding for a company, firm or a corporation must register their name as bidding for the company, firm, corporation etc.

 

4. All Successful Bids include the amount bid and any cost, abstract fee, and Resale advertising.  Once property is auctioned off, sale will stop. The bidder then pays for property by cash.  The sale of property will continue once all transactions are complete.

 

5.

7. Bids can be increased at a minimum of $100.00 increments only.

 

**8. This is a buyer beware sale. A tax deed is not a warranty deed and the County does not warrant title to any property sold.  The buyer assumes all responsibility and liability upon the purchase of these properties. While it is the decision  of each buyer, each purchaser should give consideration to the filing of a quiet title action in District Court in order to ensure a more marketable title. Each buyer needs to beware some Federal, State and City liens may still exist and be valid against the property. Each bidder should research the records and inspect the property which they are considering prior to entering a bid. A copy of OHCA Lien list is available upon request.

 

9. The County Treasurer's primary function is tax collection.  We make every effort to see that Tax Deeds are issued in accordance with the Statutes, but the buyer assumes all responsibility and liability on purchase. BUYER BEWARE.

 

10. All property, although listed by publication for sale, upon which the taxes have been paid will not be called. Bidding will

open and properties as listed in the newspaper will be sold in account number order.
