Mortgages are liens against property when the property owner borrows money from a lending institution or individual. This form can be used for residential, rentals, small commercial, vacant land and planned unit developments. This form contains a power of sale clause which allows for a non-judicial foreclosure in the event of default.

(2. with respect to any mortgage in which a power of sale is granted: a. the mortgage shall state in bold and underlined language, substantially the following:
"A power of sale has been granted in this mortgage. A power of sale may allow the mortgagee to take the mortgaged property and sell it without going to court in a foreclosure action upon default by the mortgagor under this mortgage,") ( 46 OK Stat 46-43) Many lenders prefer a mortgage with power of sale, it can save time and expense if a foreclosure occurs.

Secured by the mortgage is a promissory note (promise to pay) form. The obligations of Borrower to Lender under this Note and the Additional Obligations heroin remain in full force and effect until Lender has received payment in full of all obligations. The note establishes, interest rates, default rates, late payments, balloon payments, maturity, etc. along with default terms and conditions. The form is County specific and the provisions thereof and all rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Oklahoma.

A mortgage and promissory note that include power of sale and stringent default terms can be beneficial to the lender.

With a few exceptions mortgage tax is due before a mortgage is recorded.
(A. The following taxes are hereby levied on real estate mortgages:
1. A tax of ten cents ($0.10) for each One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) and each remaining fraction thereof where such mortgage is for five (5) years or more;
2. A tax of eight cents ($0.08) for each One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for each mortgage where such mortgage is for four (4) years or more but less than five (5) years;
3. A tax of six cents ($0.06) for each One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) where such mortgage is for three (3) years or more but less than four (4) years;
4. A tax of four cents ($0.04) for each One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) where such mortgage is for two (2) years or more but less than three (3) years; and
5. A tax of two cents ($0.02) for each One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) where such mortgage is for less than two (2) years.
If the principal debt or obligation secured by the mortgage is less than One Hundred Dollars ($100.00), a tax of ten cents ($0.10) shall be levied on such mortgage and shall be collected and paid as provided for in this article.

B. In addition to the taxes levied pursuant to the provisions of subsection A of this section, the county treasurer shall collect a fee of Five Dollars ($5.00) on each mortgage presented to the county treasurer for certification.

Monies from the account shall be expended by the county treasurer in the lawful operation of the treasurer's office.

Forms easy to download but experienced problems trying to type in my information into the forms. Then when I went to print a form, Adobe wanted to charge me for printing. I ended up printing the blank forms and then filling them out manually.

My biggest complaint is I did not know when my document was ready until I got this survey. An email should be sent to say document is ready.

Reply from Staff

Sorry about that David. We will look into better email notifications. Hope you have a great day.

This is a great service and terrific value. The form package provided (blank form, example form & set of instructions) was clear and easy to follow. Being able to complete the forms using the computer to insert the needed information saved countless hours. My completed form was accepted by the Clerk & Recorder office without any issue. Well worth the investment

It is easy to use but difficult to know when the document has been reviewed for recording and when the invoice is ready. It would be helpful for the website to send an email automatically once the document(s) are ready to be recorded to let you know what the time line is.....Thank you for your help.

Good template that met my needs. Much better than another draft template that I found on another site. Would have been helpful if the template had been provided in a Word format instead of PDF so that I could remove the sections that are not applicable.
