Tired of adding up fees? Here is what changes when you sell to us.
Never sold land before
“I inherited land I’ve never even seen. I just want it handled.”
One call, and we handle the rest. No need to visit, list it, clean it up or know anything about land sales. We research the parcel, order the title work and do the paperwork. Written offer in 24 hours, and you can sign from home, even from out of state.
Tired of waiting
“My land’s been listed for a year and nobody’s serious.”
We buy on your timeline. Land can sit for a year or two, and with higher interest rates fewer buyers can get a loan for it. We don’t need one. Written offer in 24 hours, and we aim to close in about 30 days, never past 45 once the title is clear.
Burned by the usual process
“The buyer backed out at the last minute, and my realtor stopped calling back.”
We’re not a traditional buyer. No appraisal, no loan officer. We pay cash from private investor capital, so there’s no loan to fall through. No back-and-forth either: one written offer with every cost listed.
Just want it easy
“I just want it done without paying fees or chasing paperwork.”
We pay all closing costs and do the paperwork. Title, closing fee, notary, recording and deed stamps are on us. Any mortgage, liens or back taxes are paid off by the title company from the sale at closing, so you don’t need cash up front.
Free, and you can say no.

How much does it cost to sell land in Oklahoma?
The only seller costs Oklahoma law sets are deed stamps, 0.15% of the price ($0.75 for each $500), and $18 to record a one-page deed. The larger costs are a commission, if you hire an agent, and title and closing fees, which vary by company. Enter your own numbers below to add them up.
| Seller cost on a land sale | Who sets it | As a share of the price |
|---|---|---|
| Deed stamps | State law (68 O.S. § 3201) | 0.15% ($0.75 per $500, rounded up) |
| Recording a one-page deed | State law (28 O.S. § 32) | $18 flat, $2 each added page |
| Commission | Your listing agreement | The rate you agree to; none if you sell by owner or to a direct buyer |
| Title and closing fees | The title company | Its written quote |
| Mortgage, liens, back taxes | What you owe | Paid from the sale at closing |
Example: on a $50,000 sale, deed stamps ($75) plus recording a one-page deed ($18) come to $93, less than 0.2% of the price. Many closing-cost percentages you see online come from home sales, not land.

| Deed stamps | – | – |

The right column uses the same price because no cash offer was entered. A cash offer is often lower than a listing price, so compare what you keep, not the headline price.
The calculator only does arithmetic on the numbers you enter. It does not estimate what your land is worth. For that, see how much your land is worth or the county price table. For a full net sheet, try the net sheet calculator.

How are Oklahoma deed stamps calculated?
Multiply each $500 of the sale price, or any part of $500, by $0.75. A $50,000 sale costs $75 in deed stamps, and a $100,000 sale costs $150. The tax applies only when the price is more than $100, and the stamps must be on the deed before the county clerk will record it.
| Sale price | Deed stamps (68 O.S. § 3201) | Recording a 2-page deed (28 O.S. § 32) |
|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | $15.00 | $20.00 |
| $25,000 | $37.50 | $20.00 |
| $50,000 | $75.00 | $20.00 |
| $75,000 | $112.50 | $20.00 |
| $100,000 | $150.00 | $20.00 |
| $250,000 | $375.00 | $20.00 |
| $500,000 | $750.00 | $20.00 |
Some deeds need no stamps at all (68 O.S. § 3202). Among them: deeds that only secure a loan, deeds that correct an earlier deed without new payment, deeds between close family members with no payment, deeds to your own revocable trust, tax deeds, and partition deeds, unless someone pays to take a bigger share. If a buyer takes over your loan, that loan counts as part of the price; ask the title company.
How other states compare: real estate transfer tax by state.
Selling land in Texas? There are no deed stamps there, and the Texas Constitution bars any new transfer tax on a sale of fee simple title. See what it costs to close a land sale in Texas, or run the numbers in the Texas closing cost calculator.
Who pays deed stamps when selling land in Oklahoma?
The law places the tax on the person who signs or sells the deed, or the person the deed benefits. In practice, the sale contract says which side pays, so read that line before you sign. When you sell your land to us, we pay the deed stamps along with the rest of the closing costs.
The rule: 68 O.S. § 3203. The same section requires the buyer’s name and address on the face of the deed before it is recorded.
Please note. General information, not legal advice. Laws change and every title is different, so confirm your situation with an Oklahoma attorney before you act.
How much does it cost to record a deed in Oklahoma?
Eighteen dollars for a one-page deed: an $8 recording fee for the first page plus a $10 records preservation fee. Each added page costs $2, so a two-page deed costs $20. The fees are the same in every county. A deed that does not meet the clerk’s format rules costs $25 for the first page.
| County clerk fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| First page of a deed | $8 |
| Each added page | $2 |
| Records preservation fee, per document | $10 |
| Nonconforming document, first page / each added page | $25 / $10 |
The fees: 28 O.S. § 32(A) and (C). A mortgage release or other document recorded at closing has its own fee.
What other costs come with selling land?
A commission, if you list with an agent; it is whatever your listing agreement says. Title work, title insurance and the closing fee, set by each title company. Sometimes a survey. Any mortgage, liens or back taxes, paid from the sale. Income tax on any gain is separate and depends on your situation.
- Commission. Only if you hire an agent. Ask for the rate in writing.
- Title and closing. An abstract update or title search, title insurance for the buyer, and the closing fee. Ask the title company for a written quote.
- Survey. Some buyers or title companies ask for one, often for rural tracts.
- Payoffs. A mortgage, liens or back taxes are paid from the sale money at closing.
- Taxes. A gain on the sale may be taxable. See IRS Topic 409 and ask a tax professional.
What do I pay if I sell to a cash buyer?
It depends on the contract, so ask before you sign. Some cash buyers pay the closing costs and some split them. When you sell to us, we pay all closing costs and charge no commission. Only money owed on the land, such as a mortgage, liens or back taxes, comes out of your proceeds.
Our policy, word for word: We pay all closing costs (title, closing fee, notary, recording and deed stamps), and there is no commission. Only a mortgage, liens or back taxes owed on the land come out of the sale proceeds, paid off by the title company at closing.
Compare more than the price. Ask each buyer which costs you pay, which title company closes, and when. See the best way to sell land in Oklahoma for the four options side by side.

Frequently asked questions
What percent are seller closing costs on land in Oklahoma?
The state-set part is small: deed stamps are 0.15% of the price, plus $18 to record a one-page deed. On a $50,000 sale that is $93. A commission, if you hire an agent, and title fees are set by your agreement and the title company’s quote.
How much are deed stamps in Oklahoma?
$0.75 for each $500 of the sale price, or any part of $500. A $100,000 sale costs $150 in deed stamps. Sales of $100 or less pay none (68 O.S. § 3201).
Are Oklahoma deed stamps rounded up?
Yes. The tax is $0.75 for each $500 or any fractional part of $500, so a $50,001 sale is taxed as 101 units: $75.75.
