Logan County, OK tax sales

County offices

County notes

• •Logan County moved its Treasurer, Assessor, County Clerk, Commissioners and Emergency Management out of the courthouse at 301 E Harrison in October 2025. Those offices now sit in the Logan County Administration Building at 201 County Way in Guthrie, while court services stayed at the courthouse. Because 68 O.S. 3129 holds the resale at the county treasurer's office, go to 201 County Way rather than the old courthouse. The Treasurer is Sherri Longnecker and the office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
• •A parcel reaches the June resale after three years of unpaid taxes, not two. 68 O.S. 3105 sends real estate to the resale where taxes "have been unpaid for a period of three (3) years or more as of the date such taxes first became due and payable". Until the treasurer executes the deed, the owner or anyone holding a legal or equitable interest can redeem under 68 O.S. 3113 by paying the delinquent sum with interest and costs, so a bid is never final until the deed issues.
• •The resale deed carries strong title with two limits worth pricing in before you bid. 68 O.S. 3131 vests "an absolute and perfect title in fee simple", cancels the delinquent taxes, assessments, penalties and any outstanding tax sale certificates, and bars any action to set the deed aside twelve months after it is filed for record, subject to claims the state may hold. 68 O.S. 3119 limits what passes to "only the surface and surface rights and mineral interests owned by the owners of the surface rights", so severed minerals do not come with the parcel. A mortgagee the Treasurer failed to notify keeps its mortgage against the property, and a person under legal disability keeps one year after the disability ends to redeem.
• •Parcels that draw no qualifying bid at the June resale are bid off in the county's name and move onto the county-held inventory, which the Treasurer publishes with a written bid procedure. A buyer files an information sheet and County Bid Form at the Treasurer's office and deposits the bid plus the posted advertising and deed filing charges, listed as $135.00 and $28.00, into trust; confirm the current amounts with the office. The parcel is then advertised three times, usually three consecutive Thursdays, in the Logan County Courier, with the sale set for the following week. The highest bidder at that sale wins, the bidder or a representative should attend, and the Board of County Commissioners must approve the sale before the deed is recorded. Losing bidders are refunded, and a bidder whose sale the Commissioners reject is refunded everything except the advertising cost. Several entries on the list are county facilities such as the fairgrounds and district barns and are marked as not open to bids.
• •The Treasurer's website is one page in a network that carries most Oklahoma county treasurers, so confirm the header reads Logan County before acting on any date or document you open from it. Logan County posts no separate resale calendar of its own, which makes the statutory second Monday of June and a call to 405-282-3154 the reliable way to pin the current year's sale.

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.Oklahoma Statutes Title 68, Section 3113 - Redemption of real estate68 O.S. 3113Verified Aug 27, 2026

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.Oklahoma Statutes Title 68, Section 3129 - Sale; property bid off in name of county; county liability68 O.S. 3129Verified Aug 27, 2026

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.Oklahoma Statutes Title 68, Section 3131 - Filing of resale return with county clerk; issuance of deed; remaining funds68 O.S. 3131Verified Aug 27, 2026

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.
