Garage conversion rules in Midwest City, OK — sometimes called garage-to-ADU or accessory living unit conversions — govern permits, ceiling height, egress, and parking replacement.
Garage conversions to living space require building permits and must meet IRC habitable space requirements. Zoning must permit the conversion (Appendix A). Off-street parking requirements may apply.
Oklahoma has no statewide law facilitating garage conversions. Midwest City may allow conversions with building permits meeting habitable space code: ceiling height, ventilation, egress, insulation, electrical, plumbing. Replacement parking typically required.

HOAs commonly prohibit garage conversions.
Unpermitted conversion: building code enforcement. Must bring to code or restore. Safety violations: immediate correction.
