Marshall County Treasurer

Laura Larkin serves as Marshall County Treasurer at 100 Plaza, Room 104 in Madill. The office manages tax collection and disbursement for Marshall County. Tax statements go out in November or early December. The treasurer's office sends a legal notice: failing to receive a statement does not excuse any person from paying taxes on time under 68 O.S. § 2915.

Taxes in Marshall County must be paid in full or in halves. The first half is due by December 31. The second half is due March 31. No second-half statements are mailed. Bills under $25 must be paid in full by December 31. Penalty starts at 1.5 percent per month on unpaid amounts. If the second half runs past April 1, the penalty starts in April at the same rate.

An annual delinquent tax resale takes place on the second Monday of June, starting at 9 AM and running through 4 PM. The treasurer auctions parcels with three full years of delinquent taxes. Bidding starts at the total of all back taxes, penalties, fees, and costs. If no one bids, the property reverts to the county. Any excess funds from the resale may eventually end up in the state's unclaimed property fund if the former owner cannot be located.

Oklahoma State Unclaimed Property Program

The Oklahoma State Treasurer administers the unclaimed property program under the Oklahoma Uniform Unclaimed Property Act. Businesses that hold dormant funds must report and remit them to the state. For most property types, the dormancy period is five years. Wages and utility deposits go dormant in one year. The state then holds the money until the rightful owner claims it.

Oklahoma currently holds over $1 billion in more than one million accounts. Marshall County residents near Lake Texoma who have moved frequently, worked different jobs, or had mineral interests in the area may find funds under their name. Search for all variations of your name and check maiden names, former business names, and deceased relatives.

The portal is at yourmoney.ok.gov. The official information page is at oklahoma.gov/treasurer/unclaimed-property.html. The Unclaimed Property Division phone is (405) 521-4273. Email is Unclaimed@treasurer.ok.gov. Address is 9520 N. May Ave., Lower Level, Oklahoma City, OK 73120.

How to Claim Your Funds

Search your name at yourmoney.ok.gov and click the claim button on any match. You will set up an account and upload the required documents. The state verifies your identity and your connection to the property. For individual claims, a photo ID and proof of a past address tied to the account are the main items needed.

Claims on behalf of a deceased person need probate documents, a death certificate, and letters of administration or a small estate affidavit under 58 O.S. § 393. If the estate was never probated, a notarized affidavit of heirship with supporting records like birth or marriage certificates may satisfy the state's requirement. Business claims need tax ID numbers and proof of authority to act for the entity.

Approved claims are paid by check. Simple claims with full documentation are often resolved in a few weeks. Larger or more complex claims involving multiple heirs or disputed ownership take longer. You can track your claim status online using the claim ID you receive when you submit.
