Types of Land Records in Creek County
The Creek County Clerk's index contains a wide mix of recorded instruments. Warranty deeds are the most frequent type. They transfer ownership and carry the seller's guarantee of clear title. Quitclaim deeds pass along whatever interest the grantor holds, with no warranty. Both go into the permanent record when real estate changes hands. Mortgages and deeds of trust attach liens to property to secure a loan. When the debt is paid, a release is recorded to clear the lien from the public record.
Oil and gas leases are a notable part of the Creek County record index. The county has a history of oil production, and leases are public record from the date they are filed. Mineral deeds transfer subsurface rights separately from the surface, which is a common pattern in Oklahoma land ownership. Tax liens show up in the index when property taxes go unpaid. Federal and state tax liens may also be recorded against property owners.
Plat maps are part of the county land records system as well. The Court Clerk holds separate records for marriage, divorce, and probate. The County Assessor maintains property valuation data under a different filing structure.
Note: The Creek County Assessor's office is located at 317 E Lee Ave, Room 301, Sapulpa, OK 74066, separate from the County Clerk's Suite 201 location.
Creek County Recording Fees
Oklahoma recording fees apply uniformly across all counties under Title 28 Section 32. Effective November 1, 2024, the first page of any deed, mortgage, or other recorded instrument is $8.00. Each additional page of the same document is $2.00. A $10.00 records management and preservation fee is charged per instrument. Documents that do not meet margin and formatting standards are recorded as non-conforming at $25.00 for the first page and $10.00 per additional page.
Senate Bill 57, effective November 1, 2024, mandates a 2-inch top margin and 1-inch margins on all other sides for any document submitted for recording. Documents outside those specs are still accepted but at the non-conforming rate. Oklahoma also collects a documentary stamp tax under Title 68 Section 3201 at $0.75 per $500 of consideration. For a $150,000 sale, that equals $225 in stamp taxes due at recording. Plain copies are $1.00 per page. Certified copies add $1.00 more per page.
Creek County Assessor and Property Taxes
The Creek County Assessor's office is at 317 E Lee Ave, Room 301, Sapulpa, OK 74066. The assessor values all real and personal property in the county for tax purposes and maintains assessment rolls with owner names, parcel descriptions, and assessed values.

Contact the assessor's office directly for questions about valuations, exemptions, or appeals.
The County Treasurer handles property tax collection and payment records. Tax liens for delinquent property taxes are recorded with the County Clerk and appear in the land records index, which means they will show up in a standard deed search.
