(a) Assessment. Any taxpayer filing a deed for record with a county clerk is responsible for either paying the required amount of documentary stamp tax or indicating in writing on the deed the authority for nonpayment. If after a review of the records, it appears that the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax, or has paid an insufficient amount of tax, or has failed to indicate the reason for nonpayment of the tax, the Commission shall:

(1) Send a proposed assessment letter to the last known address of the taxpayer. The assessment letter shall contain the amount of delinquent tax, the penalty assessed, and a computation of the interest due.

(2) If there is no response within thirty (30) days of the mailing of the proposed assessment, the assessment will become absolute and final and a Tax Warrant will be issued by the Commission.

(b) Response to assessment. In response to the assessment letter, the taxpayer may:

(1) Submit a copy of the deed which shows that the proper amount of tax has previously been paid; or

(2) Proceed to the county clerk's office and pay the tax. If this is done, it is the taxpayer's responsibility to submit a copy of the deed with the properly affixed stamps. In addition, the taxpayer shall remit payment to the Commission for the amount of penalty and interest that has been assessed; or

(3) Submit proof of exemption from payment of the tax; or

(4) Protest the assessment. If a protest is presented to the Commission it will be forwarded to the General Counsel's office of the Oklahoma Tax Commission for disposition.

(c) Payments. Two payments must be made for all delinquent documentary stamp taxes. The first in the amount of the tax will be made to the county clerk's office. The second, for penalty and interest will be made to the Oklahoma Tax Commission.
