Rogers County Clerk Records

Rogers County Clerk Jeanne Heidlage serves as the principal record keeper for the county. Her office is at 200 S. Lynn Riggs Boulevard, Claremore, OK 74017. The phone number is 918-923-4796. The County Clerk preserves all legal instruments filed by private citizens and public officials. Records maintained include deeds, mortgages, plat maps, oil and gas leases, mineral leases, liens, and military discharge papers, along with numerous other documents. The Clerk also serves as secretary to the Board of County Commissioners, the County Excise-Equalization Board, and the Board of Tax Roll Corrections.

The clerk reviews all claims for payment for goods and services and prepares the proper warrants, including the county payroll. Rogers County uses the Tyler Technologies Platform for its land records search portal at rogerscountyok-web.tylerhost.net, which gives online access to indexed instruments. This is one of the more advanced search systems among Oklahoma county clerks and allows searches by name, party type, instrument type, and recording dates. When overages from recorded instruments go uncollected long enough to meet the dormancy period, they may transfer to the state unclaimed property fund under 60 O.S. § 661.

Rogers County Treasurer and Unclaimed Funds

County Treasurer Jason Carini manages all Rogers County revenues and property tax collections. His office is at 200 S Lynn Riggs Blvd, Claremore, OK 74017. Phone is 918-923-4797. Email is treasurer@rogerscounty.org. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The Treasurer is an elected official serving a four-year term established by the Oklahoma Constitution. All funds paid to the Rogers County Treasurer remain within Rogers County. The office does not determine tax amounts. Taxable values come from the County Assessor and the County Equalization Board. Tax rates, sometimes called millage rates, are set by the Excise Board.

Revenue types collected by the Treasurer include ad valorem property taxes, business personal property taxes, public service corporation taxes, Oklahoma Tax Commission payments, and various other sources. After collection, the Treasurer disburses funds to the county, cities, towns, and schools based on budgets approved by the Rogers County Excise Board. The Treasurer's office also manages an investment program on behalf of the county, with priorities of safety, liquidity, and interest income. The office has received the Investment Policy Certification from the Government Investment Officer's Association (GIOA).

The annual June tax resale is held at the courthouse in Claremore for properties with delinquent taxes. When a property sells for more than the taxes owed, the overpayment is excess funds held for the record owner under Oklahoma Statute 68 O.S. § 3131. Residents of Claremore, Owasso, Catoosa, and other communities in Rogers County should check the excess funds list if they or a family member once owned property here.

Search Rogers County tax records at the Oklahoma Tax Rolls portal for Rogers County.

The tax rolls portal at oktaxrolls.com/county/rogers is a free public tool for looking up Rogers County property by owner name, parcel ID, or street address. Use it to verify ownership before contacting the Treasurer's office about a potential refund or excess fund balance.

Note: Rogers County lies in a fast-growing area near Tulsa, which means higher property values and larger potential excess fund amounts when properties sell at resale. If you owned property in Claremore or the Owasso area before losing it to a tax resale, the excess funds list is worth checking.

Oklahoma Unclaimed Money for Rogers County Residents

The Oklahoma State Treasurer administers the statewide unclaimed property program under the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act at 60 O.S. § 651 et seq. The program covers all 77 Oklahoma counties. Oklahoma holds more than $1 billion across over one million accounts. In 2025, the state returned $21.5 million to owners. No deadline. Free to search. Free to claim.

All types of holders report dormant property to the state each year. Most property has a five-year dormancy period before transfer. Wages and utility deposits go dormant after one year. Money orders become reportable after seven years, traveler's checks after fifteen. Once transferred to the Oklahoma Unclaimed Property Fund, money stays there until the owner claims it. The state holds it, it does not keep it.

Rogers County is one of the more populous counties in Oklahoma, and residents often have financial connections to multiple employers and banks in the Tulsa metro area. Common unclaimed property types here include old bank accounts, uncashed payroll checks, insurance proceeds, utility deposits, royalty payments, and securities like stock shares. If you have lived, worked, or banked in the Claremore or Owasso area, run a search at yourmoney.ok.gov/app/claim-search.

Avoid third-party services that charge monthly fees for this search. It is always free at the official state portal. State Treasurer Todd Russ has been active in returning funds to owners and publishes annual statistics on how much is returned each year.
