Noble County Property Records

Noble County property records are filed and maintained by the County Clerk at the courthouse in Perry. The office keeps deeds, mortgages, oil and gas leases, mineral deeds, tax liens, releases, and plat maps for all land in the county. Records indexed on OKCountyRecords.com go back to June 1996, and new filings are added in real-time. Whether you need to trace ownership history on a parcel, check for recorded liens, or get a certified copy of a deed, the Noble County Clerk and the online portal are both good places to start your search.

Noble County Clerk and Property Records Office

The Noble County Clerk is the official keeper of all land records in the county. The clerk records instruments that affect real estate and keeps them in a permanent public index. The current County Clerk is Connie Smith. The office is located at the Noble County Courthouse in Perry, in suite 11 at 300 Courthouse Drive. Call before visiting to confirm hours and current copy fees.

When you come in, staff can search by grantor or grantee name, legal description, instrument type, or date range. Copies are made while you wait in most cases. Certified copies carry the county seal and are required for many title and legal transactions. Uncertified copies are fine for most research purposes and cost less. Documents in the Noble County record go back well before the online index, so some older searches may need to be done in person using the physical index books.

Noble County is in north-central Oklahoma and was part of the Cherokee Outlet until the land run of 1893. The land records reflect more than a century of ownership transfers, oil and gas activity, and agricultural land use in the region.

Types of Property Records in Noble County

The Noble County Clerk records a wide variety of instruments affecting real estate. Warranty deeds are the most common. They transfer ownership and come with the seller's promise of clear title. Quitclaim deeds transfer whatever interest the grantor holds, without any such guarantee. Both types appear frequently in the index when land changes hands. Mortgages and deeds of trust create liens against property to secure loans, and releases discharge those liens once the debt is paid off.

Oil and gas leases make up a meaningful part of the Noble County record. North-central Oklahoma has active mineral development, and these leases are public record once filed with the clerk. Mineral deeds transfer subsurface rights separately from the surface land. This kind of split ownership is standard in Oklahoma and makes mineral deed searches a regular part of title work in the county. Tax liens show up in the land records index when property taxes are past due. Federal and state tax liens are also recorded here when assessed against a property owner.

Plat maps and subdivision documents are on file with the clerk as well. Military discharge records (DD-214 forms) can also be recorded there. Probate, marriage, divorce, and other court records are held separately by the Noble County Court Clerk and are not part of the land records index.

Noble County Property Recording Fees

Oklahoma sets recording fees by state statute. Under Title 28 Section 32, effective November 1, 2024, the first page of any deed, mortgage, or other recorded instrument costs $8.00. Each extra page of the same document costs $2.00. A $10.00 records management and preservation fee applies to each instrument filed. Documents that fail to meet formatting rules are charged as non-conforming at $25.00 for the first page and $10.00 for each page after that.

Senate Bill 57, also effective November 1, 2024, requires documents to have a 2-inch top margin and 1-inch margins on all other sides. A document that doesn't meet those specs can still be recorded, but the non-conforming rate applies. Oklahoma also collects a documentary stamp tax of $0.75 per $500 of consideration under Title 68 Section 3201. On a $100,000 sale, that comes to $150 in stamp taxes paid at recording. Copy fees are $1.00 per page, and certified copies add another $1.00 per page.

Noble County Assessor and Tax Records

The Noble County Assessor is Jamie Thompson. The assessor's office is at 300 Courthouse Drive, Suite 9, in Perry, inside the same courthouse as the County Clerk. You can reach the assessor at (580) 336-2185 or by email at jamie@noblecountyassessor.com. The assessor values all real and personal property in Noble County for tax purposes and keeps assessment rolls with owner names, parcel descriptions, and valuations. These records are separate from the deed and mortgage index at the County Clerk's office but are an important part of any full property search.

Property tax records and current tax status are handled by the Noble County Treasurer, also located at the courthouse in Perry. Tax liens for unpaid property taxes are recorded with the County Clerk and appear in the land records index. Statewide tax roll data is also accessible through OKTaxRolls.com, which covers all 77 Oklahoma counties. For ownership history combined with tax status, you may need to check both the clerk's index and the treasurer's records.

Electronic Recording in Noble County

Title companies, lenders, and law offices use these services to send documents directly to the County Clerk without mailing paper originals. The clerk reviews each submission, records it, and returns the stamped copy digitally. This cuts down on turnaround time and is now standard practice for many real estate closings in Oklahoma.
