Types of Property Records in Pushmataha County

Land records filed with the Pushmataha County Clerk include all instruments that affect real estate ownership or create interests in land. Warranty deeds are the most common. They transfer full ownership from seller to buyer and come with the seller's guarantee of clear title. Quitclaim deeds pass along whatever interest the grantor holds, with no warranty. Mortgages and deeds of trust create liens to secure loans. Releases cancel those liens once debts are paid. All of these are part of the public record and searchable by anyone.

Oil and gas leases are part of the Pushmataha County record index. Southeastern Oklahoma has had oil and gas activity, and all leases, mineral deeds, and lease assignments filed in the county are public record. Mineral ownership in Oklahoma is frequently separate from surface ownership, so a thorough title search here often includes both surface deed and mineral deed research. Tax liens for unpaid property taxes and federal or state tax liens are also recorded with the County Clerk.

Plat maps, UCC filings, and military discharge records round out the county's record set. Historical records on paper or microfilm for instruments predating the digital index may require a visit to the courthouse in Antlers. The online record set goes back further in Pushmataha County than many other counties in Oklahoma, which makes remote research easier here than in some areas.

Recording Fees for Pushmataha County Property Records

Oklahoma recording fees are set by state statute. Under Title 28 Section 32, effective November 1, 2024, the fee for the first page of any deed, mortgage, or other recorded instrument is $8.00.

Pushmataha County Assessor and Property Valuation

For tax payment history or current balance on a specific parcel, contact the treasurer's office in Antlers. Statewide property tax data is also searchable through OKTaxRolls.com.
