You can call at 580-328-5501 or email deweycountytreasurer@deweycounty.us. Office hours run Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. A drop box is located near the main entrance for payments made after hours.
Tax statements go out in November or early December each year. The first half or full amount must be paid by December 31. If you pay the first half on time, the second half is due by March 31.

Those fees are charged by Forte Processing, not by Dewey County.

Dewey County Assessor Property Records
Assessor Jennifer McCormick handles property valuations for Dewey County. The assessor's office is also in Taloga, reachable at (580) 328-5561. Under Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes, the Assessor values all real and personal property as of January 1 each year. That value, reduced to 11% for the assessed value, determines the base for your tax bill.
Dewey County is agricultural land, so the mix of property types skews heavily toward farms, ranches, and rural parcels. Agricultural land in Oklahoma is assessed on use value rather than market price. That means productive farmland often has a much lower assessed value than its sale price would suggest. The Assessor determines which parcels qualify for agricultural classification each year.

Note: Real property records on ActDataScout are obtained directly from the Assessor's office, but verification against source documents is always recommended for important decisions.

Oklahoma Property Tax Law and Dewey County
All Oklahoma counties operate under the same basic legal framework for property taxes. The valuation statute at 68 O.S. 2817 governs how fair cash value is set. Protests go to the County Board of Equalization, and you must file within the window shown on your assessment notice. Missing that deadline usually means you wait until the next cycle to challenge a value.
Delinquent taxes in Dewey County accrue penalty at 1.5% per month. If taxes go unpaid for three full years, the Treasurer is required by state law to hold a tax resale. At that sale, the property is offered to the highest bidder. The minimum bid must cover all back taxes, penalties, fees, and costs. Missing even one payment cycle can start that clock running.
Exemptions can help lower your bill. The homestead exemption reduces assessed value by $1,000. Senior citizens who qualify may be able to freeze their assessed value. Veterans and people with disabilities may qualify for additional reductions. Contact the Assessor's office at (580) 328-5561 to find out which programs apply to your property.
