ASSESSMENT VALUE NOTIFICATION

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 713-1200.

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.

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.

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 15^th day of each month, at a rate of 1.5%.

PAYMENT SCHEDULE

Your property taxes may be paid in full or in two installments:

The one half or the full amount must be paid by December 31^st. If nothing is paid by December 31^st, then the full amount becomes delinquent January 1^st and interest is added. We can not accept first half payment after the December 31^st due date. If you choose to pay the first half payment on December 31^st, then the last half becomes due on March 31^st.
