Tulsa County, Oklahoma Public Records

Tulsa historical land indexes, archived court files and state certificate pickup

Use the historical index matching the Tulsa instrument

The County Clerk land service provides separate historical grantor/grantee, platted-tract, unplatted-tract, condominium and reception indexes. Its grantor/grantee index covers 1898 to 1933, while the unplatted-tract index covers 1903 to 1987. A name search in the current system is not a substitute for every earlier index. The same service lists $18 for the first page of a deed or other ordinary instrument and $2 for later pages. Ordinary copies cost $1 per page. Its online subscription starts when purchased, even if another subscription is active; a day of access costs $10.

Use the combined parcel map to connect records from separate offices

The County Clerk overview describes LOCCAT as a map service combining Clerk, Assessor and Treasurer information. This helps connect the land instrument, assessed parcel and tax account, but the underlying records retain their different purposes. Record the parcel identifier and deed reference independently. If a tax-roll owner and a recorded grantee differ, examine the dates and later instruments before deciding which entry answers the ownership question. The office accepts recordings until 4:30 p.m., earlier than its 5 p.m. general closing.

An archived Tulsa case can require retrieval from the warehouse

The Court Clerk archive description locates stored case files at 2929B East Apache. Archive staff retrieve and transport files to the courthouse; an old case may therefore require preparation before a courthouse inspection.

The Court Clerk directory places the main office on the courthouse second floor at 500 South Denver Avenue. Keep the court case number separate from a County Clerk recording number. A land-record search does not search District Court pleadings.

Marriage and dissolution copies are Court Clerk products

The marriage and decree copy instructions give weekday copy service from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with separate telephone contacts for marriage licenses and dissolution decrees. The new-license application price is not stated as the certified-copy price and should not be substituted for it.

Use the parties names as they appeared in the case or license, together with the date and case identifier. A name changed after the event may not match the original index entry.

A Tulsa pickup address does not make a state certificate a county record

Oklahoma offers birth-certificate will-call pickup in Tulsa for eligible online or telephone orders. Its death-certificate instructions say the vital-record lobbies are not open for unscheduled walk-ins. Submit the qualifying order and follow the pickup notice.

For a city police record, the Tulsa Police release guide separates police reports from conviction information held by the court. A report can describe an allegation without establishing the outcome of a prosecution. Request the court disposition when the question concerns what the case ultimately decided.
