Hughes County Overview
Hughes County Assessor Property Data
The Hughes County Assessor's office is at 200 N Broadway St, Suite 4, Holdenville, OK 74848. Call (405) 379-3862 to reach the office. The Assessor values all real and personal property in Hughes County as of January 1 each year. The standard rate is 11% of fair cash value for most property classes, as set under 68 O.S. 2817. Agricultural parcels in active production get a use-value assessment that is typically much lower than their market price.
Hughes County covers a mix of agricultural land, small-town residential parcels, and some oil and gas producing properties. The Assessor classifies each parcel, determines its value, and prepares the annual assessment roll that the Treasurer uses to generate tax bills. Property owners who disagree with a valuation can protest with the County Board of Equalization within the statutory window each spring.

Tax Delinquency and Resale in Hughes County
When Hughes County property taxes go unpaid, penalty accumulates at 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance. The clock starts after the December 31 first-half deadline. If the second-half payment is missed, penalty accrues from April 1. After three full years of delinquency, the Treasurer is required by state law to hold a public tax resale.
At the resale, the property is auctioned to the highest bidder. The minimum bid covers all back taxes, penalties, fees, and costs associated with the delinquency. The winning bidder receives a certificate of purchase. The original owner then has a redemption period under Oklahoma law during which they can pay off the delinquency and reclaim the property. If they do not redeem, the certificate holder can eventually apply for a deed.
Hughes County holds its resale on the second Monday of June. That is a firm date set by state law for all Oklahoma counties that have properties going to sale. If you own property in Hughes County that is delinquent, contact the Treasurer's office at (405) 379-3862 well before June to work out a payment arrangement and avoid losing the property at auction.
