The Hobart offices behind every sale

Hobart has been the county seat since the 1901 land lottery. The courthouse at 316 S. Main was built in 1905. The county says it is one of the oldest courthouses still in use in Oklahoma.

Four offices matter most when you sell:

  • the County Clerk, 580-726-5286, keeps deeds, mortgages, mineral interests, plats, liens and judgments
  • the Assessor, 580-726-2150, sets your value
  • the Treasurer, 580-726-2362, sends and collects the tax bill
  • the Court Clerk, 580-726-5125, keeps district court files.

The Clerk and the Treasurer are both open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays. The Clerk's office has a deputy who runs the land records desk.

You can pay your tax online, but not by check. When we looked in October 2026, a Visa debit card cost $3.95. Other cards cost 2.95% of the bill.

Your levy depends on the school district

By our math, Kiowa County rates differ by 31.05 mills from one school district to the next. These are 2024 levies for fiscal year 2024-2025, from Oklahoma State University:

  • Sentinel, 71.38 mills, the lowest
  • Lone Wolf, 74.45 mills
  • Snyder, 85.58 mills
  • Hobart, 99.96 mills
  • Carnegie, 102.43 mills, the highest.

If you live in the home, Oklahoma takes $1,000 off its assessed value (68 O.S. 2889). We did the math: at the 2024 Hobart levy, that is $99.96 off each year's bill.

Apply with the Assessor by March 15. If a notice says your value went up, you get 30 days from that notice if it comes later (68 O.S. 2892).

Watch for one trap. The exemption can be cancelled if you owe late personal property tax on the Treasurer's lien list (68 O.S. 2892).

When the house sells, the state charges 75 cents for each $500 of the price (68 O.S. 3201). By our math, a $120,000 sale owes $180.

Behind on taxes: how long until the resale

Your bill is due November 1. Pay at least half before January 1, and the rest is due before April 1. Miss the first half, and the whole year goes late (68 O.S. 2913).

Late tax grows by 1.5% each month (68 O.S. 2913).

After three years unpaid, the Treasurer must offer the land at the tax resale. It is held on the second Monday of June (68 O.S. 3105).

You still have a way out. Pay the old tax, interest and costs to the Treasurer before the auction starts (68 O.S. 3113).

The Treasurer posts the list online. We counted 65 accounts on the 2025 list, dated May 7, 2025. They included town lots in Hobart, Snyder and Gotebo.

When a lender sues over the mortgage

A lender here has to go to court first. No home can be sold for a mortgage debt unless a judge orders it (12 O.S. 686).

Once a sale is ordered, the law sets the notice:

  • a letter to you at least 10 days before
  • an ad in a county paper for two weeks in a row
  • no sale sooner than 30 days after the first ad (12 O.S. 764).

The Kiowa County Sheriff's Office is at 301 S. Jefferson in Hobart, 580-726-3265. When we checked in October 2026, the county site did not post a sale calendar. Call the office to ask about a date.

If the sale brings in more than the debt, interest and costs, the sheriff must pay you the rest when you ask (12 O.S. 773). A real estate attorney can confirm what applies to you.

Lottery claims, minerals and a family estate

Much of this county was handed out in 160-acre claims by lottery in 1901. The Clerk says its records run from the first land patents to today's filings.

Minerals can be split off from the land and owned apart. When the owner of split-off minerals dies, an heir can file an affidavit of death and heirship. It goes to the County Clerk where the minerals lie (58 O.S. 393).

Some estates can take a shorter court path. Anyone with an interest can ask for it if one of these is true:

  • the estate is worth $300,000 or less
  • the owner died more than five years ago
  • the owner lived in another state (58 O.S. 245).

Flat farm country, dry spells and mobile homes

Most of Kiowa County is flat, with the Wichita Mountains on the south edge. Wheat and cotton lead the crops. Tom Steed Lake and Lake Altus-Lugert supply water.

Dry weather brings fire bans. On September 28, 2026, the county board set a burn ban for the whole county for 14 days.

Is a manufactured home on your own land? Service Oklahoma Form 756 can cancel its vehicle title for $5. You must own the land and the home, with no active lien. The Assessor signs and seals the form, and you have 60 days to file it.
