Search Tulsa Property Tax Records

Tulsa property tax records are maintained by Tulsa County, which handles all property assessment and tax collection within city limits. The Tulsa County Assessor places a fair cash value on every taxable property in Tulsa as of January 1 each year, and that value drives the tax bill you receive in the fall. You can search parcel data, check ownership, and review tax balances online through the county's public portals. This page outlines where to look and who to call for Tulsa property tax questions.

Tulsa County Assessor - Property Records for Tulsa

The Tulsa County Assessor is the office responsible for placing a fair cash value on all taxable property in the city of Tulsa. Assessor Ken Yazel leads the office, which is located at 500 S Denver, Suite 215, Tulsa, OK 74103. The assessor values real estate, personal property, and public utilities within Tulsa County each year. That value is set as of January 1, and assessment notices are typically mailed to property owners in the spring.

The assessor's online search tool at assessor.tulsacounty.org lets you look up any Tulsa parcel quickly. The site recommends using less information rather than more when searching. You can search by address using a format like "123 N Something St," by subdivision name such as "VANDEVER," or by owner using just the last name or a full name. Account number searches use the format R00000112233333. The site notes that special characters like periods, commas, and apostrophes should be avoided in search fields. This parcel search covers all of Tulsa County, so results for city properties and suburban areas come from the same database.

Under Oklahoma Statutes Section 68-2817, all taxable property must be assessed at fair cash value each January 1. For residential property in Tulsa, that means 11% of fair cash value becomes the assessed value on which tax rates are applied. Properties with a homestead exemption get an additional $1,000 deduction from the assessed value. The assessor's database reflects these exemptions in the final taxable value shown for each parcel.

Tulsa County Treasurer - Paying and Checking Tax Bills

The Tulsa County Treasurer collects property taxes for all of Tulsa County, including the city of Tulsa. Treasurer John M. Fothergill manages the tax collection process. You can view your tax account, pay your bill, or print a receipt at treasurer.tulsacounty.org. The treasurer's office has noted that receipts are no longer mailed, so the online portal is the main way to get proof of payment.

Tulsa property owners can pay in full or in two installments. The first half or the full amount is due by December 31. If you split the payment, the second half is due by March 31. Accounts with a tax bill of $25 or less must be paid in full. Late payments are subject to a penalty of 1.5% per month starting in mid-January. The treasurer's site also reflects a resale statute change that took effect November 1, 2025, which affects how long-delinquent properties are handled.

For Tulsa property owners researching tax history, the treasurer's portal lets you view past payments and current balances by account. If you are closing on a purchase, you can check whether the account is current before the deal closes. Buyers and lenders both rely on this system regularly to confirm tax status on Tulsa properties.

Exemptions Available to Tulsa Property Owners

Tulsa homeowners can apply for the homestead exemption to reduce their taxable value. The exemption takes $1,000 off the assessed value of your primary residence. You must be the owner of record and live in the home as of January 1. Applications go to the Tulsa County Assessor and are accepted from January 1 through March 15. You only need to apply once, and it stays on the account as long as you are the owner-occupant.

Seniors age 65 and older may qualify for the Senior Valuation Freeze, which locks the taxable value of a home in the year of application. Once frozen, the assessed value does not increase as long as you live in the home and your gross household income stays under the HUD median for the county. The Oklahoma Tax Commission updates the income limits each year. Applications are due by March 15. This can result in meaningful savings over time if property values in your Tulsa neighborhood are rising.

Business owners in Tulsa must file Form 901 with the assessor by March 15 each year to report personal property like equipment and furniture. If you disagree with the assessed value on your Tulsa property, you can start by requesting an informal hearing with the assessor's staff. A formal appeal to the County Board of Equalization follows if needed. The full legal framework for this process is found in Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
