Overview

Tulsa County administers local government services for residents and property owners in northeastern Oklahoma, including communities beyond the city of Tulsa. Its departments maintain county roads and bridges, run elections, assess property, and operate the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center. A Board of County Commissioners elected from three districts oversees county administration, public property, purchasing, and financial decisions alongside other elected county offices. County budgets and spending go through public review, with contracts approved by a majority of commissioners. Organized at Oklahoma statehood in 1907, the county government is headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
