What you can get in Oklahoma

Oklahoma makes most property records public, including what each property sold for. The catch is that every county keeps them differently.

Public everywhere

Every county has these, and Deedplat loads them all.

  • Owners and mailing addressesFrom the county Assessor in each county
  • Sale pricesThe County Clerk collects a documentary stamp tax based on the full price when a deed is recorded, so the price can be worked out from the stamps. Proof of the price, such as the sales contract, is shown to the clerk but not recorded, and some lists call Oklahoma a non-disclosure state for that reason.
  • Deeds and mortgagesCounty Clerk in each county
  • Assessed valuesThe County Assessor sets fair cash value every year and must visually inspect each property at least once every four years.
  • Tax sale listsRun county by county
  • Foreclosure filings and salesFiled in court, so they're public early
  • Lot linesCounty parcel maps

Depends on the town

Cities keep building permits, code enforcement cases and nuisance abatement records, and those are covered by the Oklahoma Open Records Act.

  • Code violations and condemnations
  • Building permits
  • Rental registration and inspections
  • Zoning maps and ordinances
  • Water and sewer liens

Not public

What no office will hand over, so you know where the line is.

  • Owner phone numbers and emails
  • Rents and leases
  • Active listingsThose live in the MLS
  • Mortgage balancesThe original loan amount is recorded; what's left is not

How property changes hands here

Distressed property reaches the market through a few channels, and they differ by county.

Tax sales

The county treasurer runs two kinds of sales. At the October tax sale, unpaid taxes are sold as tax sale certificates, which mostly go to the county and earn 8% interest until the owner redeems. Property that stays delinquent for more than three years goes to the June resale, where it is auctioned to the highest bidder for cash. The minimum bid is two thirds of assessed value or the taxes and costs owed, whichever is less. The owner can redeem until the treasurer signs the deed, and the buyer gets a resale tax deed with no title guarantee.

Foreclosure goes through the courts

Most home foreclosures go through the district court, and the sheriff sells the property after a court-ordered appraisal. A mortgage with a power of sale clause can be foreclosed out of court, but a homeowner can force a court foreclosure by giving written notice that the home is a homestead.

Land banks

Oklahoma has no land bank law yet, and state lawmakers have discussed proposing one.

Transfer tax

The state documentary stamp tax is $0.75 per $500 of the purchase price, collected by the County Clerk when the deed is recorded.

Worth knowing

The Oklahoma Constitution caps yearly increases in a property's taxable fair cash value at 5%, or 3% for homesteads and farmland, but the cap resets when the property is sold or improved.

Worth knowing

Investors chasing tax delinquent property in Oklahoma usually focus on the June resale, since most October certificates are bid off to the county.

Questions

Are property sale prices public in Oklahoma?

Mostly. The documentary stamp tax of $0.75 per $500 is based on the full price, so the price can be worked out from the stamps on a recorded deed. The papers used to prove the price are not recorded.

How do tax sales work in Oklahoma?

The county treasurer holds an October sale of tax sale certificates, which earn 8% interest and mostly go to the county. Property delinquent for more than three years is then auctioned at the June resale to the highest cash bidder.

Where are deeds and mortgages recorded in Oklahoma?

Deeds and mortgages are recorded with the County Clerk in the county where the property sits.

How often are Oklahoma properties reassessed?

The County Assessor sets fair cash value every year and must visually inspect each property at least every four years. Yearly increases are capped at 5%, or 3% for homesteads and farmland, until the property sells.

Is foreclosure judicial in Oklahoma?

Usually yes. Lenders file in district court, and the sheriff sells the property after an appraisal. A power of sale is possible, but a homeowner can insist on court foreclosure.

Can I get records Deedplat doesn't have?

Yes. The Oklahoma Open Records Act lets anyone request records from state, county and city offices, such as permits and code cases. We file those requests for you, clean up the results and add them to your map.
