Phone is 580-298-2580 and email is treasurer@pushcountytreasurer.com. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The Treasurer collects ad valorem property taxes and other county revenues, then disburses them according to approved budgets.

The annual June tax resale is held on the second Monday of June.

You can also visit the office in Antlers during regular business hours to review the files in person.

The excess funds list is specifically for the record owner to claim his or her own funds. You do not need a third party to do this for you. The office will not respond to email or phone requests asking for the excess funds list. You must either review it online or visit in person. If you want to file a claim, the office requires all documentation listed in the claim packet before it will be submitted to legal counsel for review.

All taxes become delinquent on January 1 of the following year. Penalty accrues at 1.5% per month on delinquent balances. For taxes from 2019 or earlier, call the office at 580-298-2580 to make payment by phone, since older years require direct processing.

Note: Visa debit card payments online carry a flat $3.95 fee. Other debit and credit cards are charged either $1.95 or 2.95% of the total, whichever is greater. This fee goes to the card processing company, not to Pushmataha County.
