Plat Records in Oklahoma


Although the State of Oklahoma provides the foundation for each of the 77 counties to operate, the manner in which records are stored and retrieved vary immensely.  Regrettably, many County and City Engineers do not consider the maintenance of land surveying records to be a high priority.  Consequently, it can be a very trying experience locating and researching valuable land surveying records.
In many instances, private land surveyor records, maintained by private firms may provide the best evidence as to the historic and correct location of critical land surveying monuments.
When working in a new county or neighborhood, it is recommended that you contact local surveyor(s) familiar with the area.  It is not uncommon to learn that there are certain Land Surveyors who specialize in select neighborhoods or cities within each county.  For example, in the County of Tulsa , neighborhoods that Gary Breisch works in the most such as Sand Springs, Sapulpa North, Mannford East, Catoosa, Owasso, Broken Arrow, Bixby, and Jenks to name a few each require unique and special knowledge of local surveying problems as well as the location and repository of land surveying records.  In nearby Osage & Pawnee Counties, due to the absence of a solid land records base, private survey notes may provide the best available evidence as to the location of subdivision boundaries, right of way lines, and historic control monuments.  Anyone working in these areas are advised to extend their research to include private survey records.
Gary can provide you with a map of Oklahoma showing the counties to facilitate your research efforts. Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_counties_in_Oklahoma


  The various counties are hyper-linked to expedite your research efforts.  Gary has developed County Research Tips information sites for your convenience. If you need assistance in your research efforts, feel free to contact us at gbreisch@gmail.com
We welcome your suggestions.

For above: 50% retainer required for all new client accounts is credited on invoice #1.  Prices are based on payment within 14 days of invoice.  The 14 day invoice payments are based on a discount of 30%.  The 14 to 30 day discount is considered 50% discount.  No discounts are given after 30 days of invoice date plus 2% interest averaged per month and calculated prorate per day after 30 days added on to invoice balance.  If your budget requires other terms, please allow me to work with you on your special needs.


3)  If you bring New View Digital Mapping of Tulsa a large project, such as the one being bid on for $80,000 then I will pay you a 5% commission. So, for example, based on an $80,000 project revenue and if you find a city or county that would need a large area mapped to integrate with their GIS system then I would have you refer them to me and I would work directly with them and upon completion of the project and receipt of payment you would be eligible for the 5% commission. I believe that, not only is the big money in these municipal projects, but I also believe the greatest need may be in this sector at this time as well.

If you research the cities and counties in your state I bet you will find that many do not have actual digital contour maps to integrate with their GIS systems and would like it but until now the cost has probably been prohibitive.

For those interested in more information, as a user of this kind of data or as a surveyor wanting to provide this service, please contact me for more information on how we can work together for our mutual benefit. Samples of projects are available for this low priced and high quality and precision mapping service provided by land surveyors all over the World.
