Kingfisher County Clerk and Property Records Office

The Kingfisher County Clerk is Emily Lee. Her office is the official keeper of all land records in the county. Every deed, mortgage, lien, and lease that affects real estate in Kingfisher County must be recorded here before it becomes part of the public record. The office is in Room 3 of the Kingfisher County Courthouse at 101 S. Main Street in Kingfisher. Call ahead to confirm current hours and copy fees before you make the trip, as these can change without notice on the website.

Staff can search the index by name or legal description and make copies while you wait. Certified copies carry the county seal and are often needed for title work or legal matters. Uncertified copies cost less and work well for most research needs. The clerk's office handles everything from simple warranty deeds to complex oil and gas lease assignments and releases. Plat maps for subdivisions in Kingfisher County are also on file here.

Types of Property Records in Kingfisher County

Warranty deeds are the most common document type filed with the Kingfisher County Clerk. They transfer ownership and come with the seller's promise of clear title. Quitclaim deeds transfer whatever interest the grantor holds, with no warranty at all. Both go into the permanent index when property changes hands. Mortgages and deeds of trust create liens on property to secure loans. Releases clear those liens once the debt is paid off.

Oil and gas leases make up a significant portion of the Kingfisher County record index. The county sits in an active oil and gas region of central Oklahoma, so these documents are filed often. Mineral deeds transfer subsurface rights separate from surface land. This split ownership structure is common across Oklahoma and makes mineral deed research an important part of any full title search in Kingfisher County. When mineral rights and surface rights have different owners, both sets of records must be checked.

Tax liens appear in the index when property owners fall behind on taxes owed to state or federal agencies. Federal and state agency liens are also recorded against property owners when judgments are entered. Plat maps for Kingfisher County subdivisions and military discharge papers (DD-214 forms) round out the types of documents maintained at the courthouse. Marriage, divorce, and probate records are kept separately by the Kingfisher County Court Clerk.

Kingfisher County Recording Fees

Recording fees in Oklahoma are set by state law under Title 28 Section 32. Effective November 1, 2024, the base fee for the first page of any deed, mortgage, or 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 on top of the page fees. Documents that fail to meet formatting requirements are recorded as non-conforming instruments and are charged $25.00 for the first page and $10.00 for each page after that.

Senate Bill 57, also effective November 1, 2024, requires all submitted documents to have a 2-inch top margin and 1-inch margins on all other sides. Documents that fall outside those specs are still accepted and 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 in Kingfisher County, that equals $300 in stamp taxes due at the time of recording. Photographic copies of recorded documents cost $1.00 per page, and certified copies add an additional $1.00 per page.
