Welcome to the Pittsburg County Treasurer Web Site

The Treasurer is an elected official serving a four-year term of office. The office is established by the Oklahoma Constitution, and the duties and responsibilities are set by Oklahoma State law.

 REVENUE COLLECTION 

The primary responsibility of the Treasurer is to receive, manage, and invest all revenues received by Pittsburg County Government. The revenues include ad valorem property taxes, business personal property taxes, public service corporation taxes, Oklahoma Tax Commission payments and various other sources of revenue.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

All revenues are fully invested daily and are either fully collateralized by government securities or are FDIC insured. Collections are balanced on a daily, monthly, and year-to-date basis which allows the investment of funds to be made with greater accuracy.

After collection, revenues are ultimately disbursed by the Treasurer. Funds are disbursed to the Public Schools, Kiamichi Technology Center, Municipalities within Pittsburg County, and Pittsburg County Government.

TAX RATES                                   

The County Treasurer does NOT determine the amount of any tax. Taxable values are determined by the County Assessor and the County Equalization Board. Tax rates (sometimes referred to as "millage rates") are set by the Excise Board. Taxes are based upon budgets submitted by taxing jurisdictions, and include the amounts necessary to pay bonded indebtedness approved by a vote of the people.

PROPERTY AUCTION

The Treasurer’s office conducts a public auction on the 2nd Monday of each June. The auction is for the sale of real estate for non-payment of ad valorem property taxes or non-payment of special assessments such as cleaning and mowing The sale is open to the public and all properties are sold to the highest bidder. Lists of these properties become available from our office in May preceding the June auction.
