Notes

Oklahoma tax-deed resale county. Muskogee County Treasurer holds the statutory June tax resale after the certificate period (68 O.S.). 2026 resale referenced for June 8, 2026 (Muskogee Civic Center, 425 Boston St.; payoff to remove from sale often by ~9:00 AM sale morning — confirm). Research lists via oktaxrolls.com/county/Muskogee and Treasurer (918-682-0811). Distinct from weekly mortgage-style Sheriff sales. Resale deed is the investor deed path after multi-year delinquency; environmental and flood DD still required near the Arkansas River.
