Tax overpayments are one of the most common sources of unclaimed money at the county level. In Wagoner County, first-half property taxes (or the full year amount) are due by December 31. The second half is due March 31. Interest starts at 1.5% on January 15 for late payments. If a property goes delinquent for three and a half years, it goes to the county tax resale held on the second Monday of June each year. Surplus proceeds from those sales can become unclaimed funds if the former owner never picks them up. Under 60 O.S. § 661, holders of unclaimed property must try to contact the owner before sending the funds to the state.

Personal property tax is also enforced in Wagoner County. If you fail to pay, the county publishes your name and the delinquent amount. A seven-year lien attaches to the property. After that period, the county can seize the asset. Any excess from seizure or sale that goes uncollected may end up as unclaimed money with the state.

Note: Tax deed sales in Wagoner County are final, and the highest bidder gets the deed at the sale unless there are proven improprieties in the process.
