Treasurer reports sale of 230 properties at recent tax auction
Summary
Tulsa County treasurer told commissioners the office completed a tax sale, selling 230 properties and taking back a small number of parcels (mostly drainage easements/right-of-way); the treasurer said the county now owns a few parcels and expects new owners to resume tax payments.
The treasurer reported to the Tulsa County Board of County Commissioners that the office completed a recent tax sale and sold 230 properties. "We completed our sale last week. We sold 230 properties," the treasurer said, adding that some parcels were bid back into county ownership because of title or lien issues.
The treasurer explained the reconveyances were largely for properties characterized as "dogs" in the inventory — small drainage easements and right-of-way strips — and that the county previously held only one such parcel on its books before this sale. The treasurer said the office expects the newly titled owners to begin paying property taxes going forward, which could improve collection outcomes in future cycles. No further financial figures or names of purchasers were provided during the announcement.
