Four Frederick offices and what each one holds
Frederick has been the county seat since statehood in 1907. The courthouse at 201 N. Main is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The County Clerk is the registrar of deeds. The office also keeps a judgment docket, where district court orders on real property are entered. Call 580-335-3421, extension 3.
The Assessor works at 205 North 10th Street. It keeps owner records and parcel maps, and it takes exemption forms. Staff visit each property on the Tax Commission's four-year schedule. Call 580-335-3424, extension 2.
The Treasurer collects the tax and runs tax sales on late accounts. Call 580-335-3425, extension 4. The Court Clerk files probate and civil cases at 580-335-3023, extension 1. Both are open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Mills, exemptions and the stamp on your deed
Your rate follows your school district. Oklahoma State University lists these 2024 levies for fiscal year 2024-2025:
- Davidson, 75.32 mills
- Grandfield, 89.52 mills
- Frederick, 93.29 mills
- Tipton, 97.41 mills.
A home you live in gets $1,000 off its assessed value (68 O.S. 2889). At the 2024 Frederick levy, we figure that cuts $93.29 a year.
The deadline is March 15. A notice of a higher value gives you 30 days from the day you get it, if that is later (68 O.S. 2892).
The Assessor also takes forms for a second homestead break for low income, a full break for 100% disabled veterans, and a senior value limit. Ask which ones fit you.
Selling adds a state deed tax of 75 cents per $500 of the price (68 O.S. 3201). On a $90,000 sale, our math comes to $135.

The June resale and how to pull your land off it
Each tax year's bill comes due on November 1. These dates decide when it goes late:
- before January 1, pay at least half, or all of it is late
- before April 1, pay the second half
- after that, interest adds 1.5% a month (68 O.S. 2913).
Is your tax paid through a mortgage company? It must pay the full year in one payment before January 1 (68 O.S. 2913).
Three years of unpaid tax puts the land on the resale list. The sale is held the second Monday of June (68 O.S. 3105).
Up to the minute the auction starts, you can pay the Treasurer the old tax, interest and costs. That redeems the land (68 O.S. 3113). The Treasurer posted a 2026 resale property list on its website.

Foreclosure runs through the district court
Oklahoma lets no one sell mortgaged land without a court judgment that orders the sale (12 O.S. 686).
After the order, the side asking for the sale must mail you notice at least 10 days ahead. It must also run the notice in a county paper for two weeks straight. The sale can't come sooner than 30 days after the first ad (12 O.S. 764).
If the sheriff asks, a winning bidder other than the lender must put down 10% in cash or certified funds (12 O.S. 764).
Sheriff Oscar Juanes's office serves papers the District Court orders. It is at 1200 S. Main in Frederick, 580-335-3013. Ask there about any sale date.
Did the sale bring in more than you owed, plus interest and costs? Ask the sheriff for the extra. The law says it must be paid to you (12 O.S. 773). A real estate attorney can confirm the details.

Red River land, bigger farms and inherited acres
The Red River forms the county's south line. The North Fork of the Red River, Otter Creek and Deep Red Creek drain the land. At Davidson, a wooden bridge over the Red River was damaged by floodwaters in 1934.
Farms keep getting bigger. The Historical Society counted 1,724 farms in 1950 and 587 in 2000, when the average farm was 819 acres.
If an owner of split-off minerals has died, an heir can file an affidavit of death and heirship. It is filed with the County Clerk where the minerals are (58 O.S. 393).
An estate of $300,000 or less may qualify for summary administration, a shorter court path. So may one whose owner died over five years ago (58 O.S. 245).
For a manufactured home on land you own, Form 756 cancels the vehicle title for $5. The Assessor seals it first, and you then have 60 days. There can be no active lien.
