Custer County Treasurer and Tax Collection

The Custer County Treasurer is an elected constitutional officer with a four-year term. The office collects taxes certified by the County Assessor for real estate, personal property, and public utility accounts. After collection, those funds go to the county, cities, towns, and school districts. The treasurer serves as the official custodian of all county funds and processes special assessments as liens on real estate when they become delinquent.

Custer County has several rules worth knowing before you pay. Late payment fees are applied on the first day of the month after a deadline passes. After January 1, half payments will not be accepted toward the full amount. That means if you miss the December 31 first-half deadline, you will owe the full amount, not just half. Mail is handled by postmark date, so payments mailed on December 31 but postmarked that day will count if the envelope is stamped in time.

The delinquent tax sale in Custer County is held on the second Monday of June, consistent with state law. That sale covers real estate that has gone unpaid for multiple years. The treasurer's office manages county-owned property from past tax sales and can sell it with board of county commissioner approval. Property owners who are delinquent should contact the treasurer's office as soon as possible to discuss their options before the sale list is finalized.

Custer County Property Assessment Rules

Real property in Custer County is assessed at 11% of fair cash value, as required by the Oklahoma Constitution. Personal property is assessed at 13.75%. Section 68-2817 of the Oklahoma Statutes requires all taxable real property to be assessed each year as of January 1. Fair cash value is the estimated price a property would bring in a voluntary sale between a willing buyer and seller. Agricultural land is often valued using the income capitalization method based on cash rent, which tends to produce lower values than a straight market comparison.

Custer County homestead and agricultural properties benefit from a 3% annual cap on assessed value increases. Other property is capped at 5% per year. These limits protect owners from large year-to-year swings caused by market changes. However, the caps are removed when a property changes hands, so buyers of recently sold properties should expect a reassessment. Senior homeowners age 65 or older can apply for the Senior Valuation Freeze to lock in their taxable value, provided their gross household income stays under the HUD median income limit for the county. Applications are due by March 15.

The Oklahoma Tax Commission at 405-319-8200 oversees property tax administration and sets the guidelines the Custer County Assessor must follow. Its Ad Valorem Division audits county assessors each year. Property owners who disagree with their assessed value can file a protest with the County Board of Equalization. Full rules for protest deadlines are available from the assessor's office or the Oklahoma Ad Valorem Tax Code.
