Tap Rock FAQ's

What is a Division Order?

A Division Order is a communication tool that allows us to tell you what we believe you own and gives you the opportunity to confirm it or correct us. It also confirms we have your current contact information.

Do I have to sign the Division Order?

Yes, a signed Division Order is required prior to receiving royalty payments.

What is an Owner Number?

This is a unique number assigned to your account. Please provide it when contacting Tap Rock Resources as this will help us research your questions more quickly.

When are royalty payments issued?

Checks are mailed (or deposited if you've signed up for electronic deposit) the last business day of the month. Proceeds will accrue until the account reaches $50 or will be paid annually, whichever occurs first.
