Oklahoma uses a both (Power of Sale Act authorizes nonjudicial, but judicial dominates residential in practice; a homestead owner can force judicial foreclosure, 46 O.S. §43) foreclosure process. Key dates come from your own papers — enter them above for your exact timeline.
Statutory cure exists on the nonjudicial track: 35 days from the date the Notice of Intention to Foreclose is sent (46 O.S. §44), with a repeated-defaults exception (more than 4 defaults in 24 months for homestead, more than 3 otherwise). In judicial foreclosure there is NO statutory reinstatement right — reinstatement is contractual (standard mortgage paragraph 22's 30-day breach letter) — but the owner may redeem by paying the FULL debt until the court confirms the sale (42 O.S. §18). The federal 120-day delinquency rule (12 C.F.R. §1024.41) applies before either track starts. 46 O.S. §44
Before the sale: The owner may redeem (pay the full accelerated debt plus costs) at any time before the sale under 42 O.S. §18 ('at any time after the claim is due, and before his right of redemption is foreclosed'); on the homestead nonjudicial track, the owner may also elect judicial foreclosure by certified-mail notice plus county-clerk filing at least 10 days before the scheduled sale (46 O.S. §43).
After the sale: Judicial foreclosure: the owner may still redeem AFTER the sheriff's sale up until the court confirms the sale (paying the full judgment, interest, and costs); once the confirmation order is entered there is NO further redemption. This window is short and court-set. Nonjudicial (power-of-sale): redemption effectively ends at completion of the sale; 46 O.S. §43 expressly preserves 42 O.S. §§18-20 redemption rights up to that point. 42 O.S. §18 · 46 O.S. §43
The homeowner keeps title and can sell the home and keep the equity at any point up to the sheriff's sale (paying off the loan from proceeds). Between the sale and court confirmation there is a brief, court-controlled window where full redemption (paying the entire judgment) is still possible, but after the confirmation order the home is gone. Protections at sale: the property generally cannot sell for less than two-thirds of appraised value (if not waived), and surplus proceeds above the judgment belong to the former owner.

The owner may redeem tax-delinquent property at ANY time before the county treasurer executes the deed to the buyer, by paying the delinquent taxes plus interest, penalties, and costs (68 O.S. §3113). Property with taxes 3+ years delinquent goes to the county tax resale held the second Monday of June (68 O.S. §3105); once the resale deed is executed, redemption is cut off (minors and incapacitated persons get 1 year after the disability ends). 68 O.S. §3113; 68 O.S. §3105
Practitioner estimate (not statute): roughly 4-12 months from foreclosure filing to post-sale confirmation, on top of the 120+ days of pre-filing delinquency required by federal rules — commonly ~6-9 months filing-to-confirmation uncontested. Key variable: if the mortgage waived appraisement, the sale cannot occur until 6 months after judgment (12 O.S. §686). (Practitioner estimate, not a statute.)
If your mortgage predates your military service, the federal SCRA generally requires a court order to foreclose during active duty and for 12 months after (50 U.S.C. §3953). These protections must be raised — tell the court and your counselor.
