Types of Property Records in Wagoner County

The Wagoner County Clerk records all instruments affecting real estate in the county. The most common documents are warranty deeds, which transfer ownership with the seller's guarantee that title is clear. Quitclaim deeds transfer whatever interest the grantor has without that guarantee. Special warranty deeds are also recorded and carry a limited form of title guarantee. All three types create a chain of title that runs through the county records.

Mortgages and trust deeds create liens against real property to secure loans. When a loan is paid off, the lender records a release to clear the lien. Tax liens appear in the index when property taxes go unpaid. Mechanic's and materialmen's liens are filed by contractors and suppliers who have not been paid for work or materials. Judgment liens arise when a court judgment is recorded against a property owner. Easements and rights-of-way are also recorded and affect how land can be used. All of these types show up in the clerk's index.

Plat maps and surveys are part of the Wagoner County records system as well. These documents define the boundaries of subdivisions and individual lots. Property tax assessment data is available through the Wagoner County Assessor rather than the clerk's office.
