Oklahoma County Treasurer: “Please pay your property taxes online or via mail”
Deadline is Thursday, December 31

Oklahoma County Treasurer Butch Freeman today encouraged property tax owners to pay their property taxes online or by mail due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The deadline for the first half of property taxes is December 31, 2020.

“I cannot stress this enough: Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, we ask for folks to please pay online or via mail,” said Freeman. “We want to keep you safe and my employees safe at all times and these two options are best for all of us.”

Online payment options include e-check, credit or debit card. There is a $2.50 service fee for e-checks and a 2.5% service fee to pay by credit or debit card that will be charged by Official Payments. None of these charges are sent to the Oklahoma County Treasurer’s Office.

Property tax payers can look up their taxes by name or address and pay online by using this website: https://www.oklahomacounty.org/545/Public-Access-Search.

“We understand that a few folks insist paying their property taxes in person with cash or check,” he said. “Our office is set up to accommodate this, but we have a few requirements in our office such as wearing some type of personal protection face mask and social distancing.”

For those paying by mail: The address is Oklahoma County Treasurer, 320 Robert S. Kerr, Room 307, Oklahoma City, OK, 73102. Office hours to pay with cash or check will be 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Oklahoma County Treasurer Releases Requirements for Paying Property Taxes in Person
Deadline is Thursday, April 30th

“Now that the April 30th deadline to pay property taxes is just a few days away, I want to thank everyone who has either paid by mail or online,” said Butch Freeman, Oklahoma County Treasurer.

“There are a few who insist on paying their property taxes with cash and we are happy to accommodate them in our office. However, there are a few requirements for paying in person,” said Freeman.

“The first requirement to keep the public and our staff safe due to the Covid-19 virus is you must wear some type of personal protection face mask. The second requirement is social distancing. There may be long lines and we will insist on keeping at least 6 feet of space between you and others waiting to pay their property taxes,” he said.

“The final requirement is patience. We’ll be doing our best to help you and get you through this process as quickly as possible and patience will be required,” said Freeman.

Freeman’s Office is located on the 3rd Floor of the Oklahoma County Annex Building, located at 320 Robert S. Kerr in downtown Oklahoma City. Office hours to pay with cash will be 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Butch Freeman, Oklahoma County Treasurer, today said his office will no longer accept cash payments for the second-half of property taxes beginning Monday, March 30th, 2020.

“This policy is already in practice in several counties across our state, including Tulsa County,” said Freeman. “We must keep the p***c safe and our staff safe due to the Covid-19 virus and various restrictions to the public. Taxpayers can still pay online via credit card or they can mail in their payments.”

Just yesterday, pursuant to the request of the Governor and State Auditor, Freeman waived all penalties and interest on the second-half payment of the 2019 ad valorem tax payments, if remitted to the County Treasurer by April 30, 2020.

“For those who insist on paying cash, please wait until late April. The April 30th deadline is a long way off. There is no need to rush,” said Freeman.

Butch Freeman, Oklahoma County Treasurer, today released the following statement regarding the second-half of 2019 property taxes which are due on March 31, 2020.

“Due to the hardships and other issues surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic in our state and nation, and pursuant to the request of the Governor and State Auditor, I will waive all penalties and interest on the second-half payment of the 2019 ad valorem tax payments, if remitted to the County Treasurer by April 30, 2020.”

Editor’s note: below is the Oklahoma Statute which allows county treasurers to waive penalties or interest.

Title 68 O.S. Sec. 2913 G: The county treasurer may waive penalties or interest in any case where it is shown to the county treasurer that such penalties or interest were incurred through no fault of the taxpayer. Each waiver of penalties or interest shall be audited by the Office of the State Auditor and Inspector each year during the annual audit of the county offices.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: On March 24, 2020, Governor Stitt signed a letter encouraging all County Treasurer's to waive interest and penalties for second-half of 2019 ad valorem taxes, if they are paid after the deadline of March 31st. We will have an more information on this later in the week.
