When it runs
Registration and deposit
Bidding is in person at the Treasurer's office and there is no online bidding. The 2026 notice placed the sale at the Office of the County Treasurer in the Courthouse Annex at Durant and offers each tract at public auction to the highest competitive bidder for cash. Winners pay the deed and recording fees set by 28 O.S. 43 plus the county's preparing, listing and advertising costs on top of the winning bid, so bring more than the bid amount. Call the Treasurer's office at 580-924-0748 before you travel to confirm accepted payment forms and what the office needs from a bidder.

Check the state rules that change the bid
Read the Oklahoma due-diligence checklist before bidding. Redemption, liens that survive a tax deed, title cleanup, and payment deadlines can change what a parcel is worth. Which liens survive is state law, so read what survives a tax deed in Oklahoma before you price the title work.Set a walk-away number
Work out what the parcel is actually worth with the rural land value estimator, then turn it into a ceiling with the tax deed max-bid calculator.
Over-the-counter (leftover) purchases
unsold properties
Oklahoma has no certificate to buy over the counter. What a county can sell between resales is its own stock of parcels bid off at a past resale and held by the board of county commissioners. There are two routes. A buyer can submit a bid to the treasurer, who then advertises it once in each of the three consecutive weeks before a stated sale date; on that date the parcel goes to the highest competitive bidder for cash or certified funds, or back to the original bidder if nobody outbids them. Or the county can hold a periodic auction of its resale stock at a time the treasurer sets. Either way the sale needs the approval of the board of county commissioners, a bid below the taxes owed at the original resale also needs the county excise board, and the buyer covers advertising, sale costs and the recording fee on top of the bid. Counties usually publish this inventory as a county-owned property list, on no fixed schedule.

County notes
- The Treasurer's website sits on a shared statewide system that carries roughly 76 Oklahoma counties, and resale notices from all of them are stored together. The Bryan notice names Bryan County, State of Oklahoma on its second line and is signed by Prudy Sullivan-Holt, County Treasurer, Bryan County, Oklahoma. Read those two lines before you trust a date or a parcel list you reached through a link, because a neighbouring county's notice looks identical at a glance.
- The 2026 resale list carried about 96 tracts, with totals due running from about $100 to about $18,000 and a median near $1,300. Roughly a third were rural metes and bounds tracts described by section, township and range. The rest were town and subdivision lots at Durant, Calera, Colbert, Achille, Bokchito, Silo, Bennington, Mead, Caddo and Kenefic, including lots in Sunset Estates, Lakeside Point, North Star Estates, Southwind Estates, Red River Heights and Lakewood Ranchettes.
- The 2026 notice moved the sale to the Office of the County Treasurer in the Courthouse Annex at Durant. The 2025 notice had placed the same sale at the Courthouse. Confirm the room with the Treasurer's office at 580-924-0748 before sale day.
- Tracts that draw no qualifying bid are struck off to the county and deeded to the Board of County Commissioners, and Bryan County publishes no standing list of that county held inventory. Ask the Treasurer's office what the county holds, because 68 O.S. 3135 gives the county two ways to sell it: accept a written bid and then advertise it once a week for three weeks so others can bid higher, or hold a periodic auction the Treasurer and the commissioners schedule. Both routes need the commissioners' approval before a deed passes, and a bid below the taxes owed at the original resale also needs the county excise board.
- Watch the newspaper as well as the Treasurer's site. The resale notice runs once a week for four consecutive weeks in a county newspaper before the sale, and the 2026 notice carried a first publication date of May 15, 2026. A separate delinquent tax notice runs earlier in the year under 68 O.S. 3106 and is not the resale list.
- The notice warns that a listed tract may involve a manufactured home a secured party can repossess, so a structure standing on a parcel may not come with the deed. Value the dirt first.
- Prudy Sullivan-Holt is the County Treasurer. The office at 323 W. Beech Street in Durant is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., on 580-924-0748, fax 580-924-3383, or by email at [email protected].
Oklahoma rules
- Redemption
- Oklahoma gives the owner a long runway and then a hard stop. Redemption is open from the moment the taxes go delinquent right up to the start of the resale auction, which is three years or more. Once the auction begins, the right is gone: there is no post-sale redemption period, no owner buyback window and no premium for the buyer to collect, which is what separates Oklahoma from a redeemable-deed state such as Texas or Georgia. The single exception is for a person under a legal disability. A minor, or a person who is incapacitated or partially incapacitated, may redeem within one year after the disability ends, and 68 O.S. 3131(A) repeats the same one-year window after removal of the disability. The statute says in terms that incapacity here means mental incapacity only and that physical disability is not covered.
- Deed deposit
- Oklahoma sets no statewide deposit percentage and no statutory bidder registration. The statute requires payment in cash or certified funds, and permits online payment where the resale is run online. Counties run this as a cash sale with registration in the days before. Comanche County registered bidders from May 26 to June 5, 2026 and again from 8:30 a.m. on sale day, took cash or cashier's check on deposit in trust only through June 2, and told bidders they must have cash in hand at the moment of bidding. Oklahoma County ran the same shape with a wire cutoff of June 4 and a cashier's check cutoff of June 1. Confirm the county's registration window, accepted funds and cutoffs before travelling.
- Surplus proceeds
- When a parcel sells for more than the taxes, penalties, interest and costs due on it, the treasurer notifies the Oklahoma Tax Commission within 30 days. The Tax Commission has 60 days to report any outstanding state tax liabilities attached to the parcel, whether or not a tax warrant was filed, and the treasurer remits to it the lesser of those liabilities or the excess proceeds. Whatever is left is held in a separate fund for the record owner as of the date the resale began, and may be withdrawn any time within one year. Any assignment of the right to those excess proceeds made on or after the day the resale began is void, which closes the courthouse-steps surplus assignment trade. Money not claimed within the year is credited to the county resale property fund.
A tax deed does not convey marketable title. Most buyers file a quiet title action before they can resell or insure the property. See the due diligence guide.
