JUNE RESALE

68 O.S. 3125-3131

The County Treasurer must hold a tax resale to sell any real estate for which the county has held a tax lien for three full years. A tax resale involves the outright purchase of property on which taxes are delinquent.

The tax resale is held each year on the second Monday of June in the County Treasurer's office between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. This property is auctioned off to the highest bidder. Bid begins with the amount of all delinquent taxes, penalties, fees and costs.

In the event no purchase is made, the property is deeded to the County.

COMMISSIONER'S SALE

68 O.S. 1995, § 3135

The County Treasurer may sell property deeded to the county after a Tax Resale upon receiving a bid on that property. The sale is subject to approval by the Board of County Commissioners, which has the power to reject any and all bids.

Any bidder must place a deposit with the County Treasurer's office to cover the cost of advertising the sale.

At the sale, the property is auctioned to the highest bidder for cash or certified funds. Before closing the sale, the successful bidder must pay any additional costs of advertising and County Clerk's recording fees not covered by the deposit. (If these costs are less than the deposit, the difference will by refunded to the bidder.)

OCTOBER CERTIFICATE SALE

NOTE: New legislation has been passed amending 68 O.S. Section 3105. The amendment eliminated the October Certificate Lien Sale (Certificate Sale). All liens for delinquent properties will be held by the county. Properties which remain delinquent and unpaid for 3 years or more will now be governed by resale statutes. See June Resale for details. Tax certificates issued prior to this legislation will remain active and are subject to the law that was in effect at the time the certificate was purchased.
