Helpful Oklahoma rule

Confirm documentary stamp tax for the deed

Oklahoma documentary stamp tax generally applies when a deed conveys sold real property for consideration or value over $100. The rate is 75 cents for each $500 or fraction of consideration, excluding the value of liens or encumbrances that remain on the property at the time of sale. The statute does not make the seller the only possible responsible party in every transfer. Ask the closing agent to confirm the amount and any exemption on the settlement statement. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Oklahoma documentary stamp tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.

The tax stamps must be in place before the deed is accepted for recording. For your next step, ask the closing agent which value and exemption apply to the specific transfer.
