Tulsa County Property Tax Records and Assessor Data

Tulsa County property tax records are managed by the county assessor and treasurer in Tulsa, the county seat and Oklahoma's second-largest metropolitan area. These records cover all taxable real estate, personal property, and public utility assessments within the county, including parcels in Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Bixby, and Jenks. The Tulsa County Assessor maintains a dedicated property search portal you can use any time to look up assessed values, ownership data, and parcel details. The Tulsa County Treasurer handles tax collection, payment processing, and delinquency management. Both offices have robust online tools that give you free access to Tulsa County property tax records without visiting the courthouse.

Tulsa County Assessor - Property Search and Valuation

Ken Yazel serves as the Tulsa County Assessor. The assessor's office is at 500 S Denver, Tulsa, OK 74103, with a main phone line of 918-596-5100. The assessor is responsible for placing a fair cash value on every taxable parcel in Tulsa County as of January 1 each year. According to the assessor's own site, "Oklahoma property taxes are 'ad valorem' - as to value," which means every tax bill flows directly from the assessed value of the property it covers.

The Tulsa County Assessor property search portal lets you look up parcels by address, owner name, or parcel number. Results include detailed property characteristics such as building size, construction type, year built, and land area. You also get the assessed value and tax information tied to each parcel, plus interactive mapping tools that show the parcel boundary on an aerial or street map. This is one of the more capable county assessor search portals in Oklahoma, and it is free to use around the clock.

The assessor also handles exemptions. A $1,000 homestead exemption is available to owner-occupants. Senior homeowners age 65 or older may apply for the Senior Valuation Freeze by March 15 each year, which locks the taxable value of their homestead property after the application year, provided household income does not exceed the HUD median income limit for Tulsa County. The assessor's site at assessor.tulsacounty.org has forms and information for all exemption types.

Assessments are capped at 3% annual growth for homestead and agricultural properties. Other property types are limited to 5% per year. When a property changes hands, the assessor may reset the value to current fair cash value. The physical inspection cycle requires staff to visit each parcel at least once every four years. Between inspections, the assessor compares values to recent sales data in each neighborhood to keep assessments in line with the market. The full legal framework for this process is in Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

Tulsa County Treasurer - Taxes and Payments

Treasurer John M. Fothergill manages all property tax collection in Tulsa County. The treasurer's office is also at the 500 S Denver address in downtown Tulsa. The official site is at treasurer.tulsacounty.org. From that portal, you can view your tax account, pay your balance, and print receipts. The treasurer's office notes that paper receipts are no longer mailed, so the online portal is the primary way to get a copy after you pay.

Effective November 1, 2025, the treasurer's site noted a resale statute change affecting delinquency procedures. Property owners with delinquent accounts should check the treasurer's site or call directly to confirm how the change affects their situation. The standard payment schedule still applies: first half or full amount due by December 31, second half due by March 31. Taxes not paid by December 31 become delinquent on January 1, and interest starts at 1.5% per month under Oklahoma Statutes Section 68-2817.

For the annual tax resale, Tulsa County holds its sale the second Monday of June. The resale covers properties that have gone through the required delinquency period. Buyers at the resale acquire a lien, not a deed, and must pursue quiet title action to obtain clear ownership. Redemption rights continue for a period after the sale, so owners still have a window to pay off the debt and keep their property. Given the size of Tulsa County's tax roll, the annual resale typically draws more interest than those in smaller counties.

Property taxes on most residential parcels in Tulsa County cover city services, Tulsa Public Schools or other local school districts, the county general fund, and various municipal levies. The treasurer collects all of these levies together and distributes them to each recipient entity. For large commercial properties, the combined tax bill can be substantial because assessed value is higher and multiple levies apply.
