Property Tax Records in Grant County
Grant County property tax records are maintained by the Treasurer and Assessor offices in Medford, a small north-central Oklahoma county seat with about 4,000 residents countywide. The county's agricultural economy means most parcels are farmland, but residential and commercial records are also on file. You can search tax rolls online, pay taxes by card, and access real property data through county-sponsored tools.
Grant County Overview
Grant County Treasurer Tax Payments
The Grant County Treasurer's office is at 112 E. Guthrie, Medford, OK 73759. The phone number is (580) 395-2274. The Treasurer is the chief financial elected official of the county, serving a four-year term as established by the Oklahoma Constitution. The last day for half payments is December 31, and the office closes at 4 p.m. on that date. Penalty begins on January 2 of the following year for any balance not paid by the deadline.
A 24-hour drop box is located on the north side of the courthouse. This is helpful for property owners who need to make payments outside of business hours, particularly near the December 31 deadline. You can also pay online through the tax roll portal.
Online payment options through the Grant County Treasurer page include credit cards at a 2.95% fee, Visa Debit cards at $3.95, and eChecks at $1.75 for amounts up to $50,000. The Treasurer's page notes that eCheck service was experiencing difficulties at the time of last update, so check the site for current availability. All fee revenue goes to the payment processor, not to Grant County.

Grant County's assessor values all real and personal property as of January 1 each year under 68 O.S. 2817. The standard assessed rate is 11% of fair cash value. Agricultural parcels in active use are assessed on use value, which in a farming county like Grant is often much lower than market price. The Equalization Board reviews valuations each year and can make corrections if evidence supports a change.

Tax Delinquency and Property Resale in Grant County
When Grant County property taxes go unpaid past the December 31 deadline, penalty accrues at 1.5% per month starting January 2. That rate compounds month over month on the outstanding balance. If taxes remain unpaid for three full years, the Treasurer is required by state law to schedule a tax resale.
At the tax resale, the property is offered to the public. Bidding starts at the amount needed to cover all back taxes, penalties, fees, and costs. The winning bidder gets a certificate that can eventually lead to a deed if the original owner does not redeem the property within the statutory period. Redemption requires paying all back taxes plus interest and fees.
Anyone buying property in Grant County should run a tax check first. Use the search tool at oktaxrolls.com/searchTaxRoll/grant and filter for unpaid taxes to see if the parcel has any outstanding amounts. A clean tax record is not guaranteed by the sale unless confirmed in writing by the Treasurer's office.
