Okla. Stat. tit. 45, § 45-934: Lien for fees - Perfecting - Notice - Indexing - Release

Fees which are due and unpaid shall be a first and perpetual

lien upon all of the property of the operator against whom the fees

are assessed, subject to any tax liens imposed by the state. The

liens shall be perfected by the filing and recording of a notice of

lien with the county clerk in the county in which the operator

resides or has property and shall thereafter constitute constructive

notice to purchasers of the existence and superiority of the lien.

Said notice of lien shall contain the name of the operator, the

amount of fees claimed to be due, and a description of the property

against which the lien is claimed. The county clerk of any county

in which such lien is filed shall index the lien in the same form

and manner and in the same book as provided for the indexing of

income tax liens, except that the said entry in the said index shall

show that the lien is a coal or mineral fee lien. Upon payment of

the fee the Chief Mine Inspector shall release the lien.
