Broken Arrow Property Records
Property records for Broken Arrow are filed and maintained by the Tulsa County Clerk, since nearly all of the city falls within Tulsa County. Whether you need a deed, a recorded mortgage, or a lien search on a Broken Arrow address, the Tulsa County land records system is where you start. The LOCCAT online portal gives free public access to indexed documents and scanned images. The Tulsa County Assessor handles ownership data and property valuations. Both offices are in Tulsa but serve all property in Broken Arrow.
Broken Arrow Overview
Where Broken Arrow Property Records Are Held
Most of Broken Arrow sits inside Tulsa County. That means the Tulsa County Clerk is the primary custodian of land records for Broken Arrow property. Deeds, mortgages, releases, oil and gas leases, mineral deeds, and tax liens are all filed at the Tulsa County Clerk's office and stored in the county's permanent public index. A small portion of Broken Arrow extends into Wagoner County. If a parcel is in Wagoner County, those records are at the Wagoner County Clerk, not in Tulsa.
To know which county a specific property is in, check the legal description or look it up on the Tulsa County Assessor's parcel map. Most Broken Arrow addresses will come up in the Tulsa County Assessor's database. If a search turns up nothing there, check Wagoner County. The Wagoner County Assessor can be reached at (918) 485-2367.
For the large majority of Broken Arrow real estate, the Tulsa County property records page covers the full details of that system, including clerk contact info, online portal access, recording fees, and the assessor's office.
Tulsa County Clerk - Land Records
The Tulsa County Clerk records all instruments affecting real property in Tulsa County, including the bulk of Broken Arrow. The Real Estate Services Division handles document recording and public access to land records. Staff can search by name, book and page number, or legal description. You can also request certified copies of filed documents. Certified copies carry the county seal and are often needed for title work, refinancing, or legal matters.

The clerk's office records documents in real time. Once a deed or mortgage is submitted and fees are paid, it gets stamped with the recording date and instrument number and enters the public index. That index is then updated in the LOCCAT online portal.
Note: For property in the small part of Broken Arrow that falls within Wagoner County, records are held at the Wagoner County Clerk, not the Tulsa County Clerk.
Search Broken Arrow Property Records Online
Tulsa County land records are searchable through the LOCCAT system at countyclerk.tulsacounty.org/Home/Land. This portal covers all recorded instruments in Tulsa County, which includes Broken Arrow. You can search by grantor or grantee name, instrument type, date range, or legal description. The system shows scanned images of the actual documents so you can read the full text of a deed or mortgage online.
The Tulsa County Assessor's website at assessor.tulsacounty.org is the other key tool. The assessor's property search at assessor.tulsacounty.org/Property/Search lets you find a parcel by owner name, situs address, or parcel ID. Once you pull up a property, you can see the owner's name and mailing address, land area, school district, legal description, zoning classification, property type, fair cash value, assessed value, and sales history with grantor, grantee, deed type, and document numbers.
The assessor's database covers Broken Arrow parcels fully and shows tax year data, improvement values, and building characteristics like year built, square footage, number of stories, and roof type. This is useful when you need a quick overview of a property before pulling the full deed from LOCCAT.
The Tulsa County Assessor's website also links to INCOG zoning data, which covers incorporated areas of Broken Arrow. Zoning verification letters for Broken Arrow addresses can be requested through the Tulsa Planning Office at planning@cityoftulsa.org.

Types of Property Records for Broken Arrow
The Tulsa County Clerk's LOCCAT system holds a wide range of land records affecting Broken Arrow property. Warranty deeds are the most common. They transfer title from seller to buyer with a guarantee of clear ownership. Quitclaim deeds transfer whatever interest the grantor holds, with no warranty. Both types are recorded when property changes hands. Mortgages and deeds of trust create liens to secure loans. Once the loan is paid, a release or satisfaction is filed to clear the lien.
Oil and gas leases are part of the Tulsa County record index. Oklahoma has active mineral development, and these leases go into the permanent index when filed. Mineral deeds transfer subsurface rights separate from surface land. This split arrangement is common across Oklahoma. Tax liens appear in the index when property taxes go unpaid. Federal tax liens and judgment liens are also recorded and show up in name searches. Plat maps and subdivision documents are part of the index as well.
Sales history with grantor, grantee, deed type, sale price, and recording date is viewable through the assessor's database. Document numbers link back to the full instrument in LOCCAT. Taken together, the assessor's database and LOCCAT give you a complete picture of any Broken Arrow parcel's ownership history and current lien status.
Note: Marriage, divorce, and probate records for Broken Arrow are held at the Tulsa County Court Clerk, not the County Clerk, and are separate from land records.
Recording Fees for Broken Arrow Property Records
Recording fees for Tulsa County documents follow state law. Under Title 28 Section 32, updated effective November 1, 2024, the fee for the first page of any deed, mortgage, or other recorded instrument is $8.00. Each additional page of the same document costs $2.00. A records management and preservation fee of $10.00 applies per instrument. Documents that don't meet formatting requirements are charged as non-conforming at $25.00 for the first page and $10.00 for each additional page.
Senate Bill 57, also effective November 1, 2024, requires all documents to have a 2-inch top margin and 1-inch margins on all other sides. Documents outside those specs get recorded but at the non-conforming rate. Oklahoma also collects a documentary stamp tax of $0.75 per $500 of consideration under Title 68 Section 3201. On a $200,000 sale, that means $300 in documentary stamp taxes due at recording. Copies of recorded documents cost $1.00 per page, and certified copies add another $1.00 per page.
Tulsa County Assessor and Property Valuation
The Tulsa County Assessor values all real and personal property in Tulsa County, including Broken Arrow parcels. The office is at 500 S. Denver Ave., 2nd Floor, Tulsa, OK 74103. You can reach the assessor by phone at (918) 596-5100. The assessor maintains separate records from the County Clerk. The assessor's database tracks owners, legal descriptions, land area, school district, improvement details, and assessed values. Assessment increases are capped at 5% per year under Oklahoma law.
Broken Arrow property owners who qualify can file for a homestead exemption through the Tulsa County Assessor's office. The exemption lowers the assessed value used for tax purposes. Personal property returns for business assets are also filed with the assessor. The assessment ratio in Tulsa County is 11% of fair cash value. So a Broken Arrow home assessed at $200,000 fair cash value would have an assessed value of $22,000 for tax purposes.
The Tulsa County Treasurer collects property taxes and maintains tax payment records. Tax bills go out in November. For property tax history and current tax status on a Broken Arrow parcel, contact the treasurer's office. Statewide tax roll data is also available through OKTaxRolls.com.
Electronic Filing for Broken Arrow Documents
Tulsa County accepts electronic recording through three providers: Simplifile, CSC eRecording, and ePN. Title companies, lenders, and law firms use these platforms to submit documents directly to the Tulsa County Clerk without mailing paper. The clerk reviews each submission, records it, and returns the stamped document digitally. E-filing cuts turnaround time and is now standard for most title closings involving Broken Arrow property.
