ADU rules in Bixby, OK — also called accessory dwelling unit regulations or granny flat ordinances — cover setbacks, owner-occupancy, parking, and permit requirements.
Bixby Title 11 (Zoning Regulations) addresses accessory dwelling units. Special exception approval may be required for accessory structures used as dwellings. The approval expires upon one year from building permit issuance or completion of construction. Structures may not be used as dwelling units permanently or temporarily without approved ADU status. The 2023 zoning update may have revised ADU provisions.

Common conditions: maximum size (typically 600 to 800 sq ft), setback requirements, owner-occupancy may be required. Building permits required for any habitable structure. Storm shelter/safe room may be a consideration for ADU design. HOAs may restrict or prohibit ADUs.
Unpermitted ADU: standard building code enforcement. May require demolition or legalization. Occupying unpermitted dwelling: code violation.
