House Bill No. 1392 amends Section 1904 of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the fees collected by county treasurers on real estate mortgages. The bill modifies the fee amount that county treasurers can charge for certifying mortgages, increasing it from Five Dollars ($5.00) to Ten Dollars ($10.00). This fee is to be collected in addition to the taxes levied on real estate mortgages based on their duration and amount, and the collected fees will be deposited into a designated account for the lawful operation of the treasurer's office.
The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, following its passage in the House of Representatives on March 26, 2025. The changes aim to provide additional funding for county treasurers' operations through increased certification fees, reflecting the need for adjustments in the financial management of county resources.
