Broken Arrow Deed Records Search

Broken Arrow deed records are filed at the county level. The city straddles two counties, with the majority of Broken Arrow sitting in Tulsa County and a portion extending into Wagoner County. Which county clerk handles your deed depends on where the property sits. The Tulsa County Clerk manages most Broken Arrow filings through the Land Records Division in downtown Tulsa. For properties in the Wagoner County section, the Wagoner County Clerk handles those records separately. Knowing which county your land falls in is the first step to any deed search or filing in Broken Arrow.

Tulsa County supports e-filing for deed records. Title companies and attorneys who handle Broken Arrow closings can submit documents electronically, which speeds up processing times.

Wagoner County Portion of Broken Arrow

A section of Broken Arrow extends east into Wagoner County. Properties in this area get filed with the Wagoner County Clerk. The office handles deed records through wagonercounty.ok.gov. Call (918) 485-2216 for questions about filings or to request copies of recorded documents.

If your Broken Arrow property sits near the eastern edge of the city, check the legal description carefully. The county line runs through neighborhoods in that area. Filing a deed in the wrong county has no legal effect on the property. The Tulsa County Assessor's LOCCAT mapping tool can help you figure out which side of the line a parcel falls on. Getting this right saves you a wasted trip and extra fees. Wagoner County follows the same state fee schedule, so recording costs are similar, but you need to go through the right office for the filing to count.
