Official statutory text
All state, county, school district, city, town, or other taxes
shall be paid to the county treasurer, either in lawful currency, or
by check or draft upon a bank therein stated, or by post office or
express order, or at the option of the county treasurer, by a
nationally recognized credit or debit card as determined acceptable
by the Oklahoma Tax Commission. If payment is made by a credit or
debit card, the county treasurer may add an amount equal to the
amount of the service charge incurred for the acceptance of such
card. County treasurers may enter into contracts for credit card
processing services according to applicable county purchasing law or
may enter into agreements with the State Treasurer to participate in
any credit card processing agreements entered into by the State
Treasurer. It shall be unlawful for any county treasurer to receive
in payment of any taxes to be collected, any state, county, school
district, city or town warrants. No county treasurer shall be
required to execute a tax receipt for any taxes except those paid in
lawful money, until the check, draft, post office or express order
has been actually paid, and in case any such check, draft, post
office or express order should prove to be worthless, it shall not
operate as a payment of the tax for the payment of which it was
given, and any tax receipt or other receipt given therefor shall be
illegal and void. Further, the county treasurer has the option of
requiring cash as the method of payment if the taxpayer has
previously issued bad or hot checks.
