Types of Property Records in Haskell County

The Haskell County Clerk records a full range of real estate instruments. Warranty deeds are the most common. They transfer ownership and include the seller's promise that title is free of encumbrances. Quitclaim deeds transfer whatever interest the grantor has, with no warranty. Both types are filed whenever land changes hands. Mortgages and deeds of trust create liens to secure loans, and releases discharge those liens once the debt is paid.

Oil and gas leases are an active part of the Haskell County record index. Eastern Oklahoma has mineral development activity, and these leases are public record once recorded. Mineral deeds transfer subsurface rights separately from surface ownership, which is standard practice in Oklahoma. The split between surface and mineral rights makes mineral deed searches an important step in any full title examination in Haskell County.

Tax liens from the county, state, or federal government appear in the index when recorded against a property owner. Judgment liens also attach to real estate when filed. Plat maps showing subdivision layouts are on file as well. Haskell County's online database includes a book list, which is helpful for detailed historical research. For marriage, divorce, and probate records, contact the Haskell County Court Clerk separately at the courthouse in Stigler, since those records are not part of the land records system.

Recording Fees for Haskell County Property Records

Oklahoma recording fees are governed by 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 do not 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 a 2-inch top margin and 1-inch margins on all other sides for all documents submitted for recording. Documents outside those specs are still accepted but recorded 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 $175,000 sale, that comes to $262.50 in stamp taxes paid at the time of recording. Photographic copies of recorded documents are $1.00 per page. Certified copies cost an additional $1.00 per page. Contact the clerk at (918) 967-2884 to confirm rates before submitting documents.
